Participants learn to recognize the early warning signs of potentially violent behavior and intervene proactively through de-escalation techniques and positive behavior supports. Day 1 teaches prevention, which is the main goal of The Mandt System. The Mandt System helps staff to create a safe and caring school in which students can say “In this place and with these people I feel safe.”
