Schools are on the front lines in managing what is becoming an increasingly more violent society.
The issue of student violence and physical restraint is undergoing intense scrutiny at the state and federal level. It is essential that schools effectively train their staff to manage these difficult situations. Schools must ensure the safety of all, but also must promote independence and freedom of choice, maintain student dignity, protect students from harm, and use the least restrictive option possible. The calm program provides individualized training that combines lecture, discussion, demonstration, physical skills training, and highly realistic simulations. The goal is to provide professionals with a full spectrum of practical prevention and management skills.
