In case you are just catching up, we ran a dialogue on unarmed accompaniement from January 23 to 29, 2008. And what an outstanding exchange it's been. It started with a few questions, to which our generous resource people provided a wealth of answers. If you haven't had a chance to follow, I would hate for such gold nuggets to be lost on you.

So I have compiled a list of highlights from the dialogue. The list is subjective, but hey, that's what you get for relying on other people's reading... 

The excertps were edited for conciseness (from 28,000 words down to 2,000, it's a sizeable summary still), and I corrected a few typos. I also added emphasis to allow you to scan quickly.  Do feel free to explore further if you want; the names link back to the specific posts. 

Oh, and some of the very best resources and training guides on protective accompaniment were also interspersed in the conversation. So yes, I have compiled a list.  

No. You don't have to thank me. I'm here for you. ;-)
