Service Description

“Therapeutic Behavior Management for Elementary Schools” (TBM/Elementary) is an in-person course in crisis prevention and verbal intervention skills, designed for staff of today’s safety-conscious elementary schools. TBM offers staff a common language and skill-set when addressing both deliberate and emotional behaviors. (Last updated June 2019). Core content. Intended to dovetail with commonly-used PBIS strategies, TBM/Elementary is based on a foundation of using both relationships and rules to manage misbehavior and deter emotional crises. The training offers essential information about childhood trauma and Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs), which can impact students' behavior and availability to learning in school. Optional physical skills. While primarily a verbal intervention program, TBM/Elementary also offers an optional second day of training in age-appropriate physical holds and escorts for administrators and behavioral or security staff.
