Ornery Teenagers
Compassionately & effectively managing their problem behaviors
If you work with teenagers, you need to understand how their brains are different from adults’ (or children’s).

Kicked Out
How to safely ask someone to leave (without calling the police)
Asking someone to leave is likely the most dangerous thing you will have to do at work. It is uncomfortable for you and humiliating for the person you ask to leave.
Research shows that “less humiliation for the other person = less violence against you.” Asking someone to leave without humiliating them is hard to do, though.
Since every staff member is not at the same experience level, this course offers three levels of tools: beginner, intermediate, and advanced. All the tools are focused on reducing humiliation for the person you are asking to leave and/or your safety in the situation.
