Phase One action is primarily to:

• A. Educate
• B. Graduate
• C. Cooperate
• D. Collaborate

Answer: (A)

Phase One centers on establishing safety and preventing escalation by informing and guiding anyone involved. The primary action here is to educate: clearly explaining what behavior is expected, why those rules exist, what will happen if those expectations aren’t met, and what options the person has to stay safe. This education helps reduce uncertainty, lowers defensiveness, and builds a foundation for voluntary compliance without forcing or coercive measures. Cooperation and collaboration may emerge as outcomes later, but they aren’t the immediate focus of Phase One. Graduation isn’t relevant to the action in this phase.
