	Testimonials
	"The (Palm Beach County) school district annually trains approximately 375 staff in initial PCM procedures and re-certifies approximately 450 staff. In my 16 years as a PCM instructor, which includes 15 years in my current position, no students or staff have been injured implementing PCM procedures. I am very familiar with other restraint procedures; in fact I was a certified trainer in others. I do not think that any other crisis management programs are as safe, effective, or implemented with the individual's dignity in mind. PCM is a complete crisis management system in which the verbal de-escalation is as important as any physical interventions. PCMA staff are always available via telephone and e-mail to answer any of our questions or to provide assistance...It is without hesitation that I would recommend Professional Crisis Management to any school district or institute that has exceptional students with various degrees of dangerous behaviors." Pamela R. Tepsic Director of Special Education
	"The Guiding Principles really explain it all (Respect, Dignity, Choice, Least Restrictive Alternative, and Feedback). I truly promote them when teaching to other participants. It has helped me to show people positive ways to intervene and deal with crisis behaviors. Staff's feedback from the experience of using Professional Crisis Management is that it is valuable and positive." Melody Ferguson Staff Development Coordinator
