Psychiatric Technician
CurrentIn this position I provide care and a safe and comfortable environment for patients of all ages, though I work primarily with children and adolescents. I assist in crisis care and prevention and safety management by exercising and demonstrating verbal and physical deescalation, assisting with personal care, and monitoring for safety. Working with children also requires behavior management and classroom management skills. It is necessary for me to think quickly and coordinate with other staff members in a fast paced and demanding work environment.
