This session is your opportunity to gain the tools and confidence you need to manage interpersonal interactions successfully and create a safer, more positive work environment.
Supervisors, this is an excellent opportunity to invest in your team’s growth and well-being. We encourage you to share this training with your employees and consider offering it as a professional development opportunity by covering the registration cost. By equipping your staff with these valuable skills, you're not only fostering a more harmonious workplace but also empowering your team to excel in their roles.
This powerful, evidence-based training will provide you with invaluable tools and skills to manage interpersonal interactions successfully, helping to build a safer and more positive workplace. You'll learn to manage your emotional responses to potentially negative or dangerous situations and interact with others in a positive way.
The Mandt System focuses on prevention by building healthy relationships and de-escalation for when conflicts occur. By leveraging the expertise of CCFL's Mandt-certified facilitators, this low-cost professional development opportunity is designed to help you:
Build healthy relationships: Learn about professional and personal boundaries, communication, and understanding the crisis cycle.

The training is led by certified Mandt System instructors Angie Graham and Jill Knox, both award-winning trainers at CCFL with over 50 combined years of human services experience.
"Conflict happens everywhere," Jill said. "Regardless of what your job entails, we are always interacting with people."
