Crisis Prevention Institute logo“Managing challenging behavior in children and teens is a skill. The key to that? Giving staff the behavior management skills they wish they had BEFORE they entered the education field. The skills they can learn now. The skills that work for preventing, managing, and debriefing challenging behaviors.”  https://www.crisisprevention.com/Who-We-Serve/Educators
