The SAMA (Satori Alternatives for Managing Aggression) program focuses on preventing aggression from becoming physically harmful. The emphasis of the course is on using the Assisting Process in all interactions and is demonstrated in all four programs.

SAMA meets all critical attributes  as defined in TBSI (Texas Behavior Support Initiative) for verbal and physical de-escalation. SAMA teaches least restrictive, safe ways to help manage a student in crisis until the student can regain control. It is part of the SAMA philosophy that is it easier to prevent behavior from occurring by using positive, proactive interventions.
