If you work in education, health or the social sector you have to deal with different types of human behaviour every day. Situations that include challenging behaviour are common to all professionals who work with people. We have to know how to prevent situations from escalating, how to stay calm facing difficult behaviour, how to set limits verbally, and how to intervene in cases of psychical aggression and violence.
In Norway Verge has developed special intervention methods for dealing with aggressive behaviour in education and social sectors. These methods were developed primarily for professionals who work with people with special needs. Verge means in Norwegian to protect and to care and thus the techniques have been named the Verge method.
