The human costs of aggression can include pain and suffering or even loss of life, reduced performance, and even personal or institutional reputation damage.
The financial costs of aggression can also be dramatic. The potential financial costs include penalties, higher insurance premiums, civil or worker's comp liabilities, faculty and staff retention, retraining, and productivity costs, and even lost income due to loss of business or lower enrollments.
The Critical Aggression Prevention System recognizes and manages aggressive behavior early by using trained observers to notice and report aggressive behavior. Trained aggression managers record and verify observations and plan and implement responses. The Metter of Aggression Web-based Platform software service is then used as a tool for assessing risk of an aggressor and making the efforts of the aggression managers effective, consistent, well documented, and efficient.
The root causes of aggression can be:
Although many organizations have some form of behavior or crisis intervention program, most programs and efforts of this nature do not prevent the damage of aggression -- they either just do not work or they respond to the crisis that results from aggression.

You need to be able to recognize the signs of aggressive behavior early, so your programs can move from being reactive to truly proactive in preventing the damage caused by aggression!

You need solutions that transcend:

> the root cause of aggression,
> the Primal or Cognitive nature of the aggressor, and
> the aggressor's social or ethnic background.

The Center for Aggression Management offers solutions that meet these critical needs. Solutions that are affordable and scalable. Solutions that can be implemented at various levels by:

Training individuals
......to recognize and manage aggression in others

Training and Systems that Prevent Violence
Today’s workplaces, schools, campuses, healthcare facilities, and religious organizations are very challenging environments. Leaders, managers and administrators are faced with ever increasing demands to protect employees, faculty, staff, students, and visitors ....... at a time when aggressive behavior is becoming more common and budgets are under extreme pressure.

Established in 1993, the Center for Aggression Management exists to prevent violence and has developed real-world answers to these concerns.

> We do this by providing training and systems that allow users to recognize and respond to aggressors in time to be PREVENTATIVE.
> We are the FIRST and ONLY organization that focuses on EMERGING aggression.
> We also have developed revolutionary techiques for recognizing the COGNITIVE AGGRESSOR, instead of only the PRIMAL AGGRESSOR.

Our focus is training and systems for recognizing emerging aggression in others and intervening before that aggression progresses to more advanced and damaging stages. Other organizations focus on healing a person's aggressive tendencies or responding to an aggressive event.

We wholeheartedly agree with a statement made by one of our clients:

....."I would rather be spending our resources and time in preventing than reacting!"

With the skills and systems needed to recognize emerging aggressive behavior at its early stages and to respond appropriately, users truly can be proactive in preventing violence. In addition, in many cases, the aggressor can be helped before a life-altering event occurs.
