Mr.

Wayne H. Harvey Chief Operations Officer , Independent Opportunities “The Mandt system far surpassed even our own expectations in reducing our staff dependency on restraints in working with challenging people with developmental disabilities since we started utilizing the Mandt system in mid-year 2004.

We appreciate his statement, as it reinforces a belief we have held for over 30 years. We are continually upgrading our programs so we can better teach people how to become skilled in relating to people during times of stress in ways that treat them with dignity and respect so we can better support them as people, not just focusing on their behaviour.

“Betrayal Trauma” is the term applied to interpersonal violence, such as abuse and neglect. The National Association of State Mental Health Program Directors (NASMHPD) and the National Technical Assistance Center (NTAC) have studied this form of trauma for over 15 years and are the leading experts in North America on the prevention of trauma. A study was published by the Centers for Disease Control in 2000 called the Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACE) study.

I wanted to follow up on something that was mentioned during this training: I have been a Mandt trainer for more than ten years now and I have always thought that a reduction in the need for restraints is one of the most important things to focus on at our mental health agency. I know that this is an important goal for Mandt, as well, as it is something that we discuss at every Mandt training. About the time I became a Mandt trainer my agency opened a new “Children’s” building staffed by new, young employees.
