School Shootings are Mental Health Problems

School Shootings are Mental Health Problems - NOT GUN PROBLEMS

CorrValues has developed a response to school shootings that addresses the real issue:

BRAIN DYSFUNCTION

Research demonstrates that a number of school and other shootings, including the latest in Florida, have a history of individuals with brain dysfunction that ranges from brain tumors, to autism, to significant histories of traumatic brain injury.
We have sophisticated technology and testing to detect and treat the brain problems that can result in shootings and other violent or criminal behavior.
​
We partner with Sheriff’s Departments, Probation Departments, local law enforcement and schools to provide BRAIN HEALTH EXAMS for the following problems:​

• Violent Behaviors
• Pattern of Illegal or Criminal Behaviors
• School suspensions or expulsions
• Probation violations
• Substance Abuse

A BRAIN HEALTH EXAM detects brain functioning and personality deficits that are frequently the cause of violent or criminal behaviors.
​
If a problem is identified, treatment can be provided that reduces risk and resolves the problem.

Emotional Security in Church

Emotional Security in church is one of the three components of overall church security services provided by CorrValues.  We believe that in order for your church or ministry to function at an optimal level, the members, employees, staff and leaders must have emotional safety.

Churches have a responsibility to minister to the emotional needs of their staff members and those who attend.  The Bible consistently commands us to love one another, bear each other’s burdens and encourage each other.  We cannot follow these commands without attending to the emotional needs of those in our churches and ministries, which is the essence of emotional security. 

A primary focus of the work of CV-Ministries in the area of church ministry security is prevention, which includes preventing emotional problems and difficulties for those involved in church and ministry.  We provide the following services that are specifically designed to prevent emotional difficulties and problems:

• Staff Assessment Services
• Identifying Emotional Problems in Children Training Program
• Identifying Emotional Problems in Adolescents Training Program
• Maintaining a Strong Relationship with Your Adolescent Training Program
• Identifying the Beginnings of Dementia Training Program
• Caring for Your Elderly Parents Training Program

Although we wish that all emotional difficulties could be prevented, sadly this is not the case.  As a result, churches and ministries must intervene to minister to those who are hurting emotionally or having emotional difficulties.  Recent surveys of seminary graduates reveal that pastors consistently report that they believe counseling people in their congregations is important, and yet they have not been adequately prepared to provide counseling to those in their churches.  CorrValues provides the following services to help churches and ministries meet emotional needs:

• Consultation on Meeting Emotional Needs in Your Church or Ministry
• Counseling Skills Training for Pastors
• Recognizing and Managing Serious Mental Illness Training

Staff Assessment Services:

Tragically, it has come to all of our attention in recent years that many children have been sexually (or verbally or physically) abused by youth leaders, Sunday School teachers, church leaders and pastors.  This is the worst violation of Emotional Safety, and needs to be prevented.
 
We have the expertise to specifically assess potential candidates for employment or service in your church for risk of sexually abusive behaviors, as well as abusive or inappropriate behaviors of other types.  We can also provide assessments for current staff members or those engaged in ministry in your church who are suspected of inappropriate behaviors.  Most ministries or churches who provide any pre-hire, or incident-based, assessment utilize the wrong instruments and processes to detect actual risk and prevent incidents from occurring.  Our expertise allows us to use the best instruments and processes that will provide you with the best information in your hiring or intervention decisions.
