Robert Lee Sutherland Seminar XIII - CD & Publication

The Hogg Foundation for Mental Health used the guidelines and other materials presented and developed during the Thirteenth Robert Lee Sutherland Seminar to produce a publication and companion CD.

Particularly noteworthy are the restraint scenarios and teaching questions provided in the publication and CD, which used jointly make an invaluable training tool. Eight scenarios with accompanying teaching questions are included in the publication. Seven of the eight scenarios as well as an introduction by the Foundation's executive director, Dr. King Davis, are represented on the CD as video clips. The scenario entitled "Juvenile Justice Pre-Adjudication Facility" in the publication is the only scenario that does not have a corresponding video clip.

Other useful resources and information in the publication include:
    • Presentation by keynote speaker Mr. Lloyd Bullard of the Child Welfare League of America
    • Seminar proceedings
    • Summary of relevant Texas statutes and regulations
    • Sample forms, including a trauma assessment, safety form, and health care proxy
    • Seclusion & restraint web resources
