The use of physical restraint is determined on an individual case-by-case basis and MUST be pre-authorized by the treatment team, including a qualified mental health professional. There is no longer an 80 pound limit. Foster parents can only use the "Bear Hug" restraint if properly trained and certified by HONH.

After properly using an Assisted Safety Restraint, all foster parents must complete the "Assisted Safety Restraint Debriefing Form" with the child/youth AND an Incident Report
