Mandt for Families
What is Mandt for Families?
Mandt for Families starts with the idea of supporting people, not just their behaviours.™ When you do this, you’re well on your way to creating a culture that provides for the emotional, psychological, and physical safety of everyone involved. It is based on treating everyone with dignity and respect. Mandt for Families gives you the tools to affirm your feelings and choose your behaviours™ so that you can keep yourself and others safe during challenging interactions.

Mandt for Families offers a person-centered, values-based approach to enhance family interactions. Delivered through three 90-minute Zoom sessions, this program focuses on fostering positive dynamics within the family unit. It introduces the vital concept that self-management and control are key to better interactions with others. By mastering self-control, family members can engage more positively and constructively.
Empowering Families Through New Behaviors
The core of Mandt for Families lies in replacing challenging behaviors with new, empowering ones. This program teaches families to recognize and replace behaviors that disrupt harmony. By adopting these new behaviors, family members feel safer and more empowered in their relationships. This sense of security is crucial for healthy development, growth, learning, work, play, and overall family living. It paves the way for a nurturing environment where every family member can thrive.
Mandt for Families equips participants with essential skills for relationship building and conflict resolution. It emphasizes the importance of understanding unmet needs behind challenging behaviors and resolving conflicts in ways that foster healthy relationships. Mandt also underscores the significance of dignity, respect, and a relationship-based approach in parenting and caregiving. It advocates for a progressive system of interaction that uses the least restrictive means, ensuring a respectful and supportive family environment. In a home grounded in positive relationships, families can raise children in an atmosphere of love, meeting their physical and emotional needs, and teaching them dignity and respect for all. The Mandt System® helps build this strong foundation, making every family member feel safe and valued.
