SontarahLife is a business founded on family, God, and human mental development. Our Crisis Intervention course is created with these factors in mind. This course is not structured to teach you just how to react in a crisis with teens or children but how to prevent a crisis by recognizing the first signs that one may occur.
SontarahLife's Crisis Intervention course is like no other, we do not teach how to control a child and their emotions, or actions to take when a child is acting out. Instead, we teach controllable actions, which is self discovery, patience, tolerance, and empowerment from staff to clients involved.
We teach ways to channel human emotion in order to receive a favorable outcome that can reduce or even eliminate the acting out of a client. To sum up the prevention aspect of this course, staff is taught to not only to respect clients but also their situation.
Our Techniques portion of this course is taught as a "LAST RESORT". SontarahLife teaches against placing hands on a teen or child unless they are harming themselves, or others.
