What is CPI Nonviolent crisis Intervention?

It is a safe non harmful behavior management system designed to help staff provide the best possible care welfare, safety and security of assaultive, disruptive or out of control persons even during the most violent moment.  Any kind of Crisis Incident or challenging behavior can  occur and escalate into a violent situation in our schools and classrooms today.  Are your teachers equipped and ready to handle these situations?   We train educators and administrators in the proper responsible and safe methods to handle violent situations and potential incidents in schools.  The Nonviolent Crisis Intervention (CPI) Program developed by the Crisis Prevention Institute teaches staff to respond effectively to the warning signs that someone is beginning to lose control, and addresses how staff can deal with their own stress, anxieties and emotions when confronted with these challenging situations. Any type of crisis situation is an unsettling experience for everyone involved. Through a comprehensive 2 day 12 hour certification you can learn to take control of and out-of-control situation. You’ll feel calm and confident instead of fearful and confused.
