For more than 25 years, The New England Center
for Children has dealt with some of the most difficult
and aggressive types of violent behavior that
can occur in a classroom setting. Based on this
extensive experience, we have designed a program
to anticipate these behaviors, diffuse any potentially
harmful outbursts, and to control any incidents
that do occur.
Known as CALM®, our
verbal and physical de-escalation
program has been proven to effectively control
even the most violent situations with less risk
to students. NECC can share safe and effective
strategies for preventing and managing all kinds
of challenging behaviors, as well as protective
measures to minimize the possibility of self-injury
or injury to others. NECC offers a variety of
CALM® training programs that can be tailored
to the specific needs of public school systems.
They are all held off-site, with the exception
of the Expanded CALM® Training (held either
off-site or monthly at NECC’s Southborough
campus). |
