PCM training is a comprehensive, safe, and effective crisis management system designed for parents, school staff, and human service professionals to utilize with children, adolescents, and adults with special needs. PCM was developed by Neil Fleisig, MS, CBA and is regulated by the Professional Crisis Management Association (PCMA). PCM has emerged out of over 20 years of experience in treating severely aggressive individuals in home, school, hospital, and residential settings.
PCM places an emphasis on prevention, de-escalation, intervention, and post crisis intervention strategies resulting in a decrease in the occurrence of crisis behavior. Class sizes range from 4 to 10 participants.
