Red Flag Protocol™

The Red Flag Protocol™ is a trauma-informed, behavior recognition framework designed to help frontline professionals identify emotional escalation before it turns into disruption, shutdown, or violence.

Used in schools, correctional facilities, and reentry programs, this system equips staff with the awareness and tools to intervene early, safely, and effectively—without relying on punitive measures.

What It Is:
A structured, observable response model that helps teams:

• Recognize early signs of dysregulation
   
• Apply pre-set “Red Flag” de-escalation protocols
   
• Protect emotional safety for all participants
   
• Log and reflect on emotional spikes and staff response
   

How It Works:

• Tiered Alert System: Green → Yellow → Red Flag indicators
   
• Reset Protocol: Includes grounding prompts, pause commands, and role-specific interventions
   
• Built-in Coaching Cues: For staff to redirect energy and avoid power struggles
   
• Weekly Reflection Logs: To improve response consistency and build trauma-informed instincts
