On behalf of Fairbanks Native Association Behavioral Health Services we truly appreciate the work that Montie and his crew provide for us. It has helped our staff immensely in dealing with the day to day needs of our consumers that are dealt with trauma and trying to make a better life. Through the training that he provides staff are better equipped to deal with consumer issues in a positive way and not focused on the negative truly being compassionate to the consumer.
Perry R. AhsogeakDirector, Behavioral Health ServicesFairbanks Native Association
As a mother of a child on the severe end of the Autism spectrum we had many challenges with behaviors that were extremely physical. I was trained in many different ways to manage physical aggression and would often feel drained and as a mother not happy with the technique I had to use with my child. I really love Res-pect because it doesn’t use physical force, it’s the least restrictive method, it includes education and gives my child back his dignity and respect.

The training Montie offers fills a critical gap in knowledge about healthy, non-violent communication and self-care for many non-clinical service providers (AKA ‘floor staff’ or ‘support staff’) who are integral to the safety and security of people in recovery or healing processes.
