The Mandt System: Building Safe, Healthy Relationships
The Mandt Program is a healthy-relationship based, learning & development platform designed to promote prevention, de-escalation and intervention approaches. Mandt evidence-based training is right for your organization if you're looking for your employees to create healthy and safe relationships with the people they support and in their team.
Mandt program focuses on building healthy relationships, communication skills and conflict management. We look at how trauma can impact individuals and that hope and resiliency are possible. Regardless of your industry or profession, The Mandt System believes that everyone has an equal right to safety.
Our training program can be uniquely tailored to your organization to reduce crisis situations, creating a space where everyone can say "In this place, and with these people, I feel safe."™
What is Mandt?
The Mandt System approach 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. Our Mandt program gives you the tools to affirm your feelings and choose your behaviours™ so that you can keep yourself and others safe during challenging interactions.
As an organization leader, we know that one of your top priorities is to create a safe work environment. To do this, you need to know how to handle difficult situations when they happen. The challenge is we don’t always have the tools we need to effectively and safely respond. The Mandt program teaches prevention and de-escalation concepts to help people safely manage behaviour so that everyone can be safe in their environment. Our goal is to be your active partner by providing the tools you need to create a healthier and safer workplace.
Who Can Benefit?
Mandt Program concepts can help various organizations and industries. We’ve trained people in industries like mental health, education, non profit, family services, healthcare, and more. The Mandt System approach is designed to maintain the needs of everyone involved, without compromising any other aspect. Whether you’re a parent, teacher, direct care professional, or healthcare worker, our training can help you create de-escalation strategies that work.
With our services, your organization can create a process to prepare for and reduce difficult situations when and if they occur. We know firsthand that every workplace is different, and that’s where our specialized approach comes in.
How Does it Work?
The Mandt System teaches concepts and evidence-based techniques. That means that our training is flexible and adaptable to your specific workplace.
Our training program begins with a focus on building healthy relationships between people to promote workplace safety. We require this as an aspect of our further training programs. Before trainers can be certified in any other aspect of our program, they must be certified in the relational chapters. We do this because the benefits of relationships when de-escalating crisis situations are unmatched.
- Maintaining healthy relationships between people can result in:
- Ensuring safety (physical, psychological, social, and emotional)
- Understanding perception of others and your own
- Meeting needs
- Achieving goals
Once team members have completed the relational skills of The Mandt System, they can move on to the conceptual training if desired, to learn more about trauma-informed care and positive behaviour supports needed to maintain workplace safety. This training allows you to take a crisis approach that keeps each person involved safe and risk-free.
