Wanda Mohr

Interesting, illuminating, and passionate about galvanizing medical and mental health treatment providers, juvenile justice staff, and teachers to relinquish the myth that so-called "holds" or restraints are of any therapeutic value. "They are not. A child can die in a prone restraint in 3-10 minutes, and that's not a lot of time," a statement Dr. Mohr has repeated many times as an expert witness for the court and in her countless lectures around the globe. Author, expert, mother, grandmother, RN and Ph.D. degree holder,  Professor of Nursing at the University of Medicine and Dentistry of New Jersey -these roles all keep her busy. However, nothing diverts her from this important goal that she has pursued since graduate school - eliminating the use of all restraints in child settings.
