(From the Mandt System® website)
“The Mandt System® is a comprehensive, integrated approach to preventing, de-escalating, and if necessary, intervening when the behaviour of an individual poses a threat of harm to themselves and/or others. The focus of The Mandt System® is on building healthy relationships between all the stakeholders in human service settings in order to facilitate the development of an organizational culture that provides the emotional, psychological, and physical safety needed in order to teach new behaviours to replace the behaviours that are labeled “challenging.”
The Mandt System® integrates knowledge about the neurobiological impact of childhood trauma with the principles of positive behaviour support and provides a framework that empowers service providers to do their work in a way that minimizes the use of coercion in behaviour change methodologies
It is our intention that within this framework we create peace of mind, that The Mandt System® can help you find appropriate solutions and then share these with everyone. This peace of mind comes from the fact that the instructional certification provided by The Mandt System® truly puts all people first by building healthy workplace relationships in which:
- Your service users will be safer
- Your staff will be safer
- Your work will meet or exceed your industry standards for safety”
