We Equip Teachers With the Necessary Tools to De-Escalate Crises, Manage Behaviors, and Stop Bullying

Our mission is to improve and enhance the performance, mental capacity, and the emotional and mental health of educational staff through the use of neuroscience, psychology, and metacognitive science.

Current Reality

School districts face increasing challenges in meeting the academic and behavioral needs of all students while ensuring their safety and security.

The implementation of security protocols, crisis intervention policies, and behavioral training is crucial to ensuring the safety and well-being of students and staff and minimizing the likelihood of potentially violent incidents. Many violent incidents can trace their roots to non-violent, petty misconduct such as: 

  • academic dishonesty
  • plagiarism, damaging school property
  • violations of attendance policies, alcohol and drug use
  • intimidation
  • harassment
  • discrimination
  • bullying
  • stalking
  • physical violence 


Understanding the psychological and behavioral concepts that lead to student misconduct and violence as well as recognizing the different stages of students' passive and active aggression are both critical to mitigating risks and preventing violent incidents before they occur.

    Learn how to use the behavioral scale to assess a student’s level of agitation, detect the early stages of challenging behaviors, and maintain cooperation. Learn how to mitigate the risk of impulsive, hostile, and uncontrollable behaviors, and avoid coercive interventions that escalate agitation. Our course's main focus revolves around the safety of students, teachers, and others. We place strong emphasis on teaching how to gain a student's attention, improving compliance, and averting negative and avoidance behaviors.

  • PREVENT AGITATED BEHAVIORS FROM ESCALATING AND RESPOND APPROPRIATELY IF A STUDENT'S BEHAVIOR THREATENS SAFETY

    In the process of establishing desirable student behavior, it is crucial to give appropriate feedback. Positive reinforcement rewards desired behaviors, thereby strengthening the likelihood that the behaviors will recur. Social reinforcements include positive voice modulation, facial expression, verbal praise, and appropriate physical demonstrations of affection.
