Lives In Motion Intensive Systems Therapy™
Lives In Motion Intensive Systems Therapy™ (IST) is an established, effective training program designed to maximize the success of individuals with disruptive or volatile behavior in any social environment and to increase the skills of employees and stakeholders within those environments to manage disruption or volatility.
IST is one of four Cognitive Behavior Therapy-based staff skill protocols in the Lives In Motion Staff Training Series. The program is:
- Person centered and trauma informed.
- Appropriate for family, residential, and workplace settings.
- Designed to accommodate individuals and teams whose needs vary greatly with regard to intensity of support and specificity of diagnostic challenge.
IST has been part of positive practices protocols for severely disruptive and volatile interactions that have resulted in overall decreased use of extraordinary response measures and increased staff confidence in facing challenges.
Since Lives In Motion IST™ was introduced in 2007, over 200 people nationwide have received training and certification as IST Coaches. Dozens have obtained advanced certification as IST Trainers.
