Testimonials

"The Mandt System is more than an aggression management program with information about trauma.  It has fully integrated the concepts of trauma and positive behavior support in all facets of the training.  While The Mandt System is our aggression management training program, it is so much more than that.  Using The Mandt System, the Adolescent Residential Treatment Program at Sheppard-Pratt Health System has been able to reduce aggression related workers compensation costs to zero in 2010, while improving the quality of life of the children and youth we serve.  By focusing on prevention and de-escalation to the extent Mandt teaches, we have been able to help severely traumatized children start on the road to recovery.

“The Mandt system far surpassed even our own expectations in reducing our staff dependency on restraints in working with challenging people with developmental disabilities since we started utilizing the Mandt system in mid-year 2004. Our organization has a completely different philosophy in working with challenging situations that the Mandt system has contributed to substantially that has allowed us to flourish in regards to growth and stability for all those we serve.”

"Thank you for your assistance and allowing me to teach this course to The Lighthouse employees. I have already been getting excellent reviews from my boss and employees. I have also notice a reduction in restraints and when they do occur they are much safer. We are on our way to meeting our goal of reducing restraints by 50% by next summer. I look forward to re-training in April 2012. "

I really like the MANDT system and its' concept of teaching people the importance of building relationships and treating people with dignity and respect. And not just mentioning these concepts, it is the main focus of the program.

I was actually a part of the curriculum review team for APD.  While MANDT was not one of the curriculums I reviewed, it is the one I chose to use with my organization.

"At the end of the last course (small group of 4 people) one of the staff said this was the one of the best courses that she has taken.  We had some really good discussions with this group.

Thanks again to MANDT."

"I have been a MANDT trainer for 10 years now I think, and was first trained 12 years ago. As an Elementary School Principal for 15 years, I found MANDT to be a great resource. Now, in a different role in the same school system, it continues to play an important role in what I do."
