The unfortunate reality of individuals now served by social service programs and schools is that they are reported to be more volatile and subject to acting out than ever before.  While we may assume these characteristics are a reflection of society, the fact that the individual staff frequently must stand face to face with an "about to explode" person, mandates that they be trained in how to respond to these individuals.

 

Since 1982, JKM Training, Inc. has developed and delivered a comprehensive training program for crisis intervention and behavior management.  This “state of the art” program is now utilized in schools and social services agencies throughout the United States, as well as in the United Kingdom, New Zealand and Guam.

 

The Safe Crisis Management training program has as its fundamental purpose the prevention and safe resolution of explosive behavior.  Whether they are working with oppositional and defiant students or emotionally disordered clients, SCM provides your staff with a capacity to prevent or safely control dangerous situations. 

 

 

The SCM curriculum provides a comprehensive continuum of prevention (primary),

intervention (secondary/emergency) and post intervention (tertiary) strategies focusing on:

• Positive Behavioral Interventions that empower individuals with the opportunity to regain control of their own behavior.

• Incident Prevention through an understanding of individual crisis behavior & the dynamics of escalation, using fundamental management of the environment & program, and providing the support needed by individuals to avoid behavior incidents.

• Proven De-escalation Techniques that are applicable to a wide range of settings and situations.

• Functional Assessment & Behavior Support Planning which is essential for individuals in need of more frequent assistance.

• A “Last Resort” Physical Intervention System that has been medically reviewed for safety, and can be tailored to the size, weight and gender of the individual. SCM keeps client/student and staff safety as the paramount concern while ensuring that the dignity of individuals is preserved.

• Post Intervention Strategies that debrief, resolve, record and restore individuals, their peers and their environment.  SCM capitalizes on the therapeutic opportunity of crisis behavior.
