Michigan Advocates to End Seclusion and Restraint
A Better Way
Keeping all students safe starts way before a crisis happens.
-
It starts with providing educators with training, resources, practice, and options.
-
It requires a focus not on behaviors, but on the underlying issues causing behaviors.
-
It involves a mindset shift about students who are behaving in undesired ways. They need help, co-regulation, supportive adults, skill development, and practice.
-
It requires that every student have a secure relationship with multiple adults in the building who see them for the great kid that they are even when they're having a hard time.
-
Students whose needs are being met, who feel safe, and who have the skills to handle the demands of school do not act aggressively and hurt others.
