3 Day Training

In our 3- day training model, teachers and administrators perform the skills needed to create and maintain a proactive and productive intervention team. This training is designed to demonstrate practical strategies of intervention for students 'at-risk'. The program is easy to implement and effective and efficient in its practices. This program's versatility makes it ideal for creating consistency in behavioral interventions across a school district

Masonic Model

SAP training has proved to be so effective that NMFC across the United States and into Canada have funded it for the past 30 years. In a recent article, Tim McMullin, the past chairman of the Masonic Student Assistance Training Model, had this to say about the program:

Tim goes on to talk about the logistics of the program and ends by saying:

"Promoting and managing this program consumes many hours each day, year around, but I go to sleep each night knowing that because of what I do to organize and advertise the workshops, caring adults in schools are helping children and young adults get back on track."

Schools are asked to send about 6 representatives to the training so a core-team can be established. Core-teams do not work in the hypothetical. Instead, participants are guided through the process of intervention using current student cases. This allows their work to be concrete and to transfer directly back to their school setting.
