One Young Adult's Perspective of the Cost of Restraint

"Being restrained costs a lot! I was abused before I was put in programs. Being restrained made me feel the same way - except staff are supposed to help you, right?

...It made me worse and took away my self esteem. How is that supposed to help me feel better? I don't get it.

Wouldn't it be cheaper if staff just listened?"
