Customer Feedback

"Your curriculum teaches trainees how to PREVENT behavioral crises by providing them with useful strategies to reverse escalation and safely and therapeutically manage the crisis at hand.  Your curriculum also stresses the importance of crisis debriefing both with the student and with the staff.  This part of crisis management does not often occur but is critical to the prevention of future incidents.  Staff communication is essential. Thank you for making it such an important part of your curriculum."
