Learn24 First Friday Learning Series
The Nonviolent Crisis Intervention program is a safe and effective behavior management system designed to help human service professionals provide the best care, welfare, safety, and security of disruptive, assaultive, and out-of-control individuals-even and especially during their most violent moments.
Participants will learn to:
- Identify the behavior levels that contribute to the development of a crisis and choose an appropriate staff intervention for each level.
- Identify useful nonverbal techniques that can help prevent acting-out behavior.
- Use verbal techniques to de-escalate behavior.
- Demonstrate CPI's Principles of Personal Safety to avoid injury if behavior escalates to a physical level. Provide for the Care, Welfare, Safety, and Security of everyone involved in a crisis situation.
This event will not go over physical restraint techniques.
