Welcome
Welcome to The Mandt System® home page. As an organization, we see ourselves as partners, not just vendors, with organizations who want to utilize the most comprehensive training program available to do more than anger management or crisis prevention. Since 1975 we have helped organizations such as yours to lay the foundations upon which human services can be delivered and received, and that foundation is the relationships between the people in the workplace.
behavior are healthy human attachments.”
Larry Brendtro, Nicholas Long, Educational Leadership, 1995
Our focus is on learning how to reduce, if not eliminate, workplace violence by learning how to “support people, not just their behaviors”™. To do this, organizations must first build a healthy relationship between and among all the stakeholders in an organization.
Peter Breggin, MD, International Center for the Study of Psychiatry and Psychology, 1999
Reducing workplace violence has resulted in significant savings in workers compensation costs in many organizations using The Mandt System®. This savings is a direct return on investment financially, but even more important it results in staff feeling safe at work. By doing more than anger management, we can help organizations to create environments in which people live, learn, work and play with an increased feeling of safety.
Changing the way people relate to each other at work has profound and lasting impact on all aspects of service delivery. The people served in organizations breathe the relational exhaust of staff to staff interactions. When the relationships staff have with each other are negative, the air our clients, students, residents, patients, etc. breathe is toxic and this has a negative effect on their behavior. When the relationships between staff change, the entire environment is changed in healthy, positive ways.
One year after the Calgary School Board began utilizing The Mandt System®, one school reduced restraint by over 70%. One family had evaluated the school prior to Mandt System® training, and chose not to have their child attend the school. After training was implemented, the family visited the school again, and responded by saying
“This is the same building, but it is a different school.” (Parent of a student in the Calgary Board of Education)
The atmosphere of the school had changed from high anxiety to a more relaxed and inviting environment, and this was evident even on a brief visit to evaluate the program.
