Training and Systems that Prevent Violence
The Value in Our Client's Words
This course is absolutely essential!
John Crutchfield
Director of Safety and Security
Madison County Hospital
This course offered a new way of thinking -- truly preventing,
rather than simply reacting to aggressive situations and
behaviors.
I believe this training is extremely valuable for hospitals,
healthcare organizations and other institutions as a method
of preparedness.
I believe this course represented NEW information for
attendees. Additionally, there were numerous exercises and
role plays that greatly reinforced concepts.

I liked best knowing the difference between Primal and
Cognitive Aggression. I did not know there was a difference.
Joe Amicucci, Captain
Dept. of Protective Services
Grady Memorial Hospital
Very comprehensive program in the science and
understanding of emerging aggression -- Threatology -- this
program assists organizations in assessing potential
problems of Workplace Violence before Workplace Violence
would occur!!
Mike Angeline
Director, Safety & Security
Mount Carmel Health System
I have taught CPI classes for years, but this class gives a
new fresh look on agressive behavior and how to deal with
these situations. I really enjoyed the two different types of
aggresion, Cognitive and Primal.
Josh Bandyberry
Safety/Security Officer
Marion General Hospital
I teach Defensive Tactics, Crisis Prevention and Behavior
Management and this is another great tool in helping with
aggression. I really like the program and it gives more tools
to handle situations before they become a major issue.
Simply Awesome! Thank You.
Brett Bennett
Supervisor, Safety & Security,
Marion General Hospital
This works for professionals and nursing, security, officers,
everyone!
I liked best the way it changed my way of thinking. I have
been a police officer, a security officer and now in safety so
you get preconditioned to think a certain way and you shut it
off to that.
Now I have a fresher look.

Joe Tulga
Director, Safety & Security
Marion General Hospital
I attended this course intending to gain knowledge and insight
regarding Aggression Management to assist hospitals and other
healthcare agencies to deal with and mitigate aggressive
behavior. However, I gained much more.
This course exceeded my expectations and not only provided me
with the knowledge, but provided me ways to identify aggression
both personally and professionally.
Kelsey Blackburn

I have been dealing with aggressive people for nearly 30 years. I
could have done a much better job had I had this information and
skills taught me in this course.

I liked best the ability to identify my own aggression in conflict.

I liked best understanding of Aggression Management; better
understanding of levels and stages, and how to respond. This
information is powerful!!!
Sheryl Clinger

This course gives us the ability to understand the types of
occasions and the tools needed to deal with such situations
effectively. It is imperative to remain calm and the techniques of
cycle breathing is terrific. I like best the body language and
Unmagnificent Seven; I can apply them daily in my position.
Missy Clum

This course cuts to the chase with helpful guidelines and
knowledge.
Every Staff member who works in healthcare needs to be required
to take this class!!

to teach as First Observers to see things and call in aggressive
behavior increasing day to day productivity.

We always look forward to input from our clients after completing a training program. We hear many
recurring themes.
Sometimes, our clients open our eyes to how to better train, for which we are vry thankful. Most of
the time, they express better than we can how they see the value of the training we provide.
They express that value in the context of the challenges they face in their daily efforts to keep their
workplaces, campuses, churches, and hospitals SAFE!
