More of a djj case manager than a group facilitator.

Management would not allow use of therapeutic restraint after DJJ directed the org. not to use them due to high reporting of restraints. Restraint is necessary when clients are physically violent. A senior counselor began to use unauthorized restraints in an abusive way since restraints were no longer being reported to DJJ. Another counselor reporter two counts of abuse to management. The outcome was that management swept the abuse under the rug and tried to placate the counselor so that DJJ wouldn't be notified. The counselor found out that this particular organization had been shut down and under investigation a previous time. Another report was sent to DJJ. Another problem is that management allows volatile clients to be graduated so that the success rate will stay high enough to continue receiving government funding.
