Which list is identified as Phase Three Objectives?

• A. Moral Reasoning, Anger Control, Social Skills, Life Skills
• B. Disengagement Skills: Position, Posture, Proximity
• C. The Decision-Making Matrix Aids
• D. Duty of Care, Best Interest, Last Resort, Least Restrictive

Answer: (A)

Phase Three objectives focus on building and reinforcing the person’s internal regulation and social-functional skills after de-escalation, to support safer behavior going forward. The list that includes Moral Reasoning, Anger Control, Social Skills, Life Skills fits this aim because it covers cognitive processing (moral reasoning), emotional regulation (anger control), and practical everyday competencies (social and life skills) that help someone manage impulses, interact positively, and function more independently.

Disengagement skills like positioning, posture, and proximity pertain to the safe, in-the-moment techniques used to create space and protect everyone during an active crisis. Those are immediate safety actions rather than the ongoing skill-building focus of Phase Three. The Decision-Making Matrix Aids are tools to help guide decisions during a crisis, not sets of development objectives for this phase. Duty of Care, Best Interest, Last Resort, Least Restrictive describe the ethical and policy framework guiding restraints and interventions, not the developmental targets for Phase Three.
