Nonverbal Crisis Intervention

CPI’s Nonviolent Crisis Intervention is a full-day training* that is helpful in equipping staff with positive strategies for handling difficult situations. In this training, participants will learn to organize their thinking about how behavior escalates and respond appropriately, as well as gain practical skills for safely managing and preventing difficult behavior with the focus on prevention. They will learn proven strategies for safely diffusing anxious, hostile, or violent behavior at the earliest possible stage to reduce the risk of injury, minimize liability and promote safety, welfare
and security.
Training Fees:
$60 - Initial Certification
$40 - Renewal (participants with active certifications or within a 3 month grace period)
Training fees cover the cost of CPI training materials and certification. Districts will be billed following the training. Fees are subject to change per CPI fee changes.

Verbal Intervention
CPI's Verbal Intervention is a 1⁄2 day training* that prepares staff to take a completely non-physical approach to intervention. This training focuses on de-escalation strategies resulting in safe, non-restrictive interventions. Attendees will learn to recognize the stages of an escalating crisis and evidence-based techniques to de-escalate. De-briefing strategies round out the training so that educators can restore the relationship with their students and strive to prevent a future crisis.
Training Fees

*Blended Learning

To ensure that all participants receive the most effective instruction possible, all participants in Verbal Intervention and Nonviolent Crisis Intervention trainings will complete an introductory portion of learning online (asynchronously) before attending the class. This enhances discussion in the classroom and allows for ample time to practice strategies.
