To stream; to flow.

The nature of a river is to move towards its destination without resistance and with continuous fluid motion.

The river will continue to move over and around any objects in its path. This continuous motion will eventually move the objects or smooth them out to create a more fluid path. If we become as flexible as water in our approach to crisis, we will surely increase our chances of bringing peace to any situation.

Standard Certification

Practitioners learn to address safety as the single focus for managing aggression. Learning not to “intervene” the crisis of another while recognizing that the responsibility to “manage” lies with the aggressor and organization’s behavior modification program. HELP practitioner’s will assist the aggressive individual in regaining control/power in order to better manage the crisis at hand.

Instructor Certification

Practitioner’s learn all of the base knowledge taught in the standard program while adding the element of group support, problem solving, and teamwork. Application of techniques, skill development, and group discussion all provide Helper’s (staff members) the necessary tools to teach these principle’s on their own. Instructor’s will leave with the ability to insure that in an incident, the environment is safe for those around them and respect is maintained for the aggressor (Learner).
