Handle With Care - Juvenile Justice
HWC provides training for courts, probation departments, detention centers, state-owned and operated juvenile facilities, and privately run facilities nationwide.
"In the past, several other behavior management systems I’ve been taught were either ineffective, awkward, or even sometimes dangerous. This is the best I’ve ever used in my 18 years of juvenile corrections! Our instructor even rearranged his flight reservation at the last-minute to avoid an upcoming snowstorm and teach our instructor’s class 2 days early. Professional and supportive!"
Richard Stump - Director of Training - The Youth Center of the High Plains / Randall County Juvenile Probation
