what others have to say about help

"Staff gained the training they needed quickly and effectively.  Since implementing the HELP program, restraints have been drastically reduced.  Last year, we had only one restraint." 
-- Senior Vice President of Outpatient Services, Frontier Health

"Enjoyable.  Good learning environment / material!" 
-- Therapist, UAB Center for Psychiatric Medicine

"Thank you for giving special attention to non-verbal students - not many people do that for us." 
-- Exceptional Education Teacher, Jefferson County Board of Education

"For Frontier Health, a major advantage of the program is that not only does it teach how to restrain safely, the focus is on improved communication and de-escalation techniques.  We prefer HELP because of this focus.  Not only does the program assist us in providing quality services, morale is improved as it provides staff with a good foundation and confidence to handle potentially difficult or violent situations." 
-- Senior Vice President of Outpatient Services, Frontier Health

"Excellent energy level - did not feel like a 'lecture' which optimizes learning." 
-- Social Worker, Laurel Heights Hospital

"HELP is totally different in a number of smart ways from CPI.  The LEAN, when done correctly, is less likely to result in staff caused injuries for the kids.  The HELP Principles fit well with YV mission and values.  It also fits with our other treatment approach which is about empowering and role modeling." 
-- Program Director, Youth Villages

"I liked the openness of the class and the free exchange of ideas.  Thank you for a productive four days." 
-- Nurse Manager, Decatur General Hospital
