Fair but Firm is a behavior management program that empowers adults by providing them with the skills they need to improve their interactions with children who have behavior problems.

Our professional training program is customizable to the needs of the organization and can range from a two-hour session to a three-day comprehensive workshop. Training is designed to provide concrete, practical information to caretakers, teachers, therapists, child welfare specialists, in-home service providers, residential staff and others who work with children and adolescents who have behavioral issues.

Once staff members are trained in the Fair but Firm behavioral program, they can teach parents the technique to help them improve their interactions with their children. The model is flexible enough to support children with a wide range of behaviors—from “typical” child and adolescent problems to extreme problems.
