Interests
Ukeru trained
Ukeru is
a trauma-informed crisis management training focused on "comfort over control," providing a safe, restraint-free alternative to traditional behavioral techniques. Meaning "to receive" in Japanese, it teaches staff to de-escalate crisis situations using verbal communication, empathy, and specialized, soft padded equipment to block or redirect energy safely, rather than using physical, coercive force.
