Care that shows up for you, not the other way around.
Arcionis provides respite and crisis intervention care to support individuals with developmental disabilites and their stakeholders.
Crisis Intervention
We prioritize long-term crisis stability and safety over temporary fixes. Recognizing that acute crises often stem from unaddressed trauma and underlying stress, our Crisis Intervention services combine non-coercive, trauma-informed principles to de-escalate immediate distress, minimize physical intervention, and build lasting security.
By integrating PCMA’s Everyday BehaviorTools alongside Ukeru Systems training, our Crisis Intervention team emphasizes the least-restrictive environment possible—focusing on comfort, communication, and safety during high-stress moments.
Our Crisis Intervention strategy features a customized plan consisting of:
- Trauma-Informed Risk Assessments: Utilizing Ukeru’s brain-based research to identify environmental triggers, trauma history, and safety risks to prevent escalation before it starts.
- Proactive Skill Building (PCMA Everyday BehaviorTools): Implementing practical and non-reactive strategies to maintain emotional balance and promote self-regulation.
- Least-Restrictive De-Escalation Techniques: Leveraging Ukeru’s soft-equipment blocking techniques to safely absorb and divert physical energy, protecting everyone involved while minimizing the need for restrictive measures.
- Proactive Staff & Support Training: Equipping care teams with relationship-focused communication skills and early intervention tools to foster predictability, trust, and safety.
- Community Integration & Continuums of Care: Establishing continuous, trauma-sensitive support networks that ensure smooth transitions and maintain long-term stability in the community.
