Our Values and Principles:
PCMA, as an organization, is driven by a set of core values and principles. All PCMA training programs and services incorporate these same guiding principles at all levels (instructors, practitioners, consumers, etc).
They are:
Human beings have a basic right to humane and dignified treatment.
Human beings have a right to safety and freedom from pain.
Human beings have a basic right to freedom of choice.
The least restrictive alternative that is likely to be effective is critical to safety and success of individuals.
Teaching and support strategies must be as positive, pro-active and non-coercive as possible.
Teaching
and support strategies must utilize proven
principles of effective behavior change,
such as
continuous
feedback, behavioral shaping, and fading of cues and assistance.
PCMA cares deeply about you, your family, your organization.

"Having been an instructor for another crisis management system, I can truly say that PCM is superior in all physical and non-physical procedures compared to any systems I've trained or been trained in, or, for that matter, any I have researched." Paul Gavoni Behavior Analyst | ||

"PCM has given the ADT (adult day training) staff a better understanding of the use of prevention strategies. As an instructor, I focus on the verbal strategies with staff. The number of hands on interventions in ADT has decreased due to the use of PCM non-physical strategies." Dierdra Walker Program Director |
