How useful is a non violent resistance course?

[megletthesecond]

I'm being referred to one to try and support 12 yr old DD.
But I can't figure out what it might tell me that googling and years of MN haven't.

When DD is violent I'm not violent back but I do have to restrain her to prevent injury to herself (broken windows or electrics) or me or her brother. I can't let her destroy the house, we've already lost a lot of stuff and everything needs repainting and doors repairing.

I did a course, it had a different name and was about safely practicing restraint. It was not great tbh. It was provided by CAMHs as part of the process of dealing with challenging behaviour. As DS2 behaviour is worse at special school and he is a danger to himself and others he is often restrained. the positives, it helped to provide evidence for OT, he now has a safe space and they provided other things as fob access doors and extra protection for my windows. He is a biter and pincher and they provided arm shields. The negatives, it’s was a tick boxing exercise, most of the techniques are common sense and it did feel like I was being judged.

Oh and I forgot the other positive was that it opened the door to medication. It was a route I really didn’t want to go down but puberty has been horrific. The medication has calmed him, he still has outbursts but not as frequent and most importantly for not as long.

Thank you Boul.
I do wonder if it's going to be common sense. I've been figuring it out for around 4 years and already have a few techniques under my belt. We will see.
I have a biter too. I have every fast reflexes these days.
