The Mandt System®

The Mandt System^® is a comprehensive, integrated approach to preventing, de-escalating, and if necessary, intervening when the behaviour of an individual poses a threat of harm to themselves and/or others. The Mandt System focuses on building healthy relationships to develop an organisational culture that provides the emotional, psychological, and physical safety needed to teach new behaviours.

The Mandt System integrates knowledge about the neurobiological impact of childhood trauma with the principles of positive behaviour support and provides a framework that empowers service providers to do their work in a way that minimises the use of coercion in behaviour change methodologies.
