Join the PCMA Instructor Movement! Are you passionate about making a real difference in crisis management? Become a PCMA instructor and be part of a community dedicated to excellence in safety and support. Our instructors are equipped to offer seven distinct levels of training, ranging from verbal and safety strategies to advanced prone and supine immobilization techniques. At PCMA, our training is fluency-based to ensure mastery, and our core principles are designed to maximize dignity and respect, eliminate pain and minimize distress, reduce restriction while offering choice, and provide meaningful feedback with viable alternatives. These principles not only align with trauma-informed care but are also built on the same foundational science as Positive Behavior Interventions and Supports (PBIS), making our approach beneficial for everyone. What sets us apart? A significant focus on prevention. Unlike others who may only touch on this aspect briefly or start their training at de-escalation, we prioritize preventive measures to address crises before they escalate. Become an instructor with us and empower individuals and organizations with effective, compassionate crisis management skills. For more information, email moreinfo@pcma.com.

Prevention Over Intervention In crisis management, the common approach often starts at deescalation—but what if we could prevent crises before they even begin? Most systems are reactive; it's time to shift our focus to proactive strategies. Preventing behavioral challenges isn't just about managing crises—it's about building stronger relationships and creating supportive environments that foster positive outcomes. At PCMA, we believe in the power of prevention and the science of human behavior. Our training solutions, including Professional Crisis Management and EveryDay BehaviorTools, are designed to equip educators and caregivers with the skills needed to prevent crises effectively. These programs are more than interventions—they are your first step towards transforming your approach to behavioral challenges. 🔹 Become a Certified Instructor 🔹 Bring Our Programs to Your School or Facility Interested?

Psychological safety thrives in environments where certainty is prioritized. When team members understand the "how" behind processes and decisions, they feel more confident and safer engaging with those systems. But clarity isn’t a one-and-done task—it’s an evolving practice. Feedback is critical. Regularly checking in with your team to assess the efficacy of processes ensures they remain effective, inclusive, and psychologically safe.
