Our Experience

Monmouth County Juvenile Detention Center

Records indicate that 450+ workers compensation days occurred in the year prior to giving the course and only 150 days in the following year.

Chicago Juvenile Center

Two of the Juvenile shelters adopted our crisis intervention system as a policy. The third did not and experienced four times the number of critical incidents as the other two shelters combined.

Child Diagnostic Center at Woodbridge

This is a 50-bed coed residential diagnostic center for emotionally disturbed adolescents with 60 civil service staff members. The training program was evaluated over a six-year period. The results revealed that no clients were injured by staff and a total of five cumulative work days were lost to a single staff member. That equals less than one day per year!
