Our CPI Nonviolent Crisis Intervention (NCI) trainings are ONLY available to Enhanced and Premier Collaborative members.
Part I (Verbal De-Escalation):
Through training in CPI’s Nonviolent Crisis Intervention (NCI), participants will develop prevention strategies for safely defusing anxious, hostile, or unsafe behavior at the earliest possible stage. Participants will learn how behavior escalates and how to respond appropriately and use the Verbal De-escalation Continuum to address and de-escalate behaviors. This updated course integrates the PBIS framework and demonstrates the connections between NCI’s program and positive behavior support systems in your school. By utilizing discussions, role-plays and activities, attendees will leave the workshop with certification in verbal de-escalation by the Crisis Prevention Institute and strategies to support students and staff in moments of crisis.
Note: To earn Blue Card Certification, participants must attend Part I: Verbal De-Escalation and Part II: Physical Disengagement in full and pass the required exam. Anyone arriving after 9:30 a.m. can still participate but will not be eligible for certification.
