Q. What is NATSAP?s position in relation to interventions that involve practices such as the use of harsh and demeaning language, group confrontations, or staff confrontations designed to intimidate or ?shame? a client into compliance?
A. NATSAP demands that every member program adhere to a Code of Ethical Principles, as well as Practice Standards that prohibit emotional, physical, and sexual abuse of any client, family member, or employee. A major goal of NATSAP is to ensure quality care, while at the same time, providing support to regulatory bodies to eradicate the presence of substandard programs nationwide.
I thought it would be useful to list in this thread the NATSAP programs that use harsh/ demeaning language, group/ staff confrontations designed to intimidate or shame a client into compliance.
