What people are saying
“Understanding the CALMER approach helped me reframe my teaching practice, changing the environment and teaching to strengths rather than reacting to behaviour.”
Teacher
“The training reinforced that we sometimes miss the ‘human’ approach. It really comes down to connection and regulation through connection.” “I valued the focus on building capacity, rather than expecting staff to know what to do in the heat of the moment.”
“You explained behaviour and emotional states so clearly and simply that I could apply it immediately with my children.. Your diagrams helped me change how I respond as a parent.”
Irini, mother
“This approach should sit at the foundation of school operations to support the wellbeing of students and staff.”
Heather, School Counsellor
“After completing the training, I felt confident to apply CALMER directly in practice. Explaining the approach supported a more inclusive and collaborative process.”
Alicia McLachlan, Senior Behaviour Support Practitioner / Social Worker
I have already incorporated CALMER concepts into my clinical placements. It has shaped my practice to be more person-centred and capacity-building.”
— Amy, Parent
“The training taught me to avoid assumptions and recognise that there is always more beneath the surface when interpreting behaviour.”
Obinna, Support Worker
I explored approaches like the Neurosequential Model, the Low Arousal Approach, and the Trauma Wisdom Circle — all of which added value, but still felt incomplete. What I love about CALMER is how it brings the research from all these pioneers and much more together into one approach.”
— Pam, Autistic parent and family educator
