Care
Welfare
Safety
Security
We cannot always control the behaviors of a person in a crisis
moment.
We cannot always make people do as we ask.
With proper training, we can control our own behavior and
responses.
Learning Goals- PREVENTION and
INTERVENTION
You will learn PREVENTIVE Techniques in Units 1-7 online.
You will learn and practice strategies to intervene in a crisis
situation in a professional manner that provides for the Care,
Welfare, Safety and Security of all who are involved
Units 8-10 during the face to face session.
Learning Target-Learn how to respond with the right
support in order to de-escalate the situation and
avoid a crisis.
Behavior Examples
Staff Response Examples
Pacing, wringing hands, quiet.
Offer supportive, encouraging
responses.
“I said NO, that is spelled NO!”
“Who made you the boss?”
“I know where you live!”
Offer choices, not ultimatums
Hitting, throwing objects, headbanging.
Use planned physical
interventions only as a last resort.
“I’m sorry, I didn’t mean it.”
Talk and listen for causes,
negotiate a plan.
Same Program—New Delivery Option
The Crisis Prevention Institute (CPI) is pleased to introduce
Nonviolent Crisis Intervention®
• hybrid training—a state-of-the-art delivery option that
blends web-based and classroom instruction. This innovative
training teaches the same effective skills, supports the same
principles, promotes the same philosophy, and adheres to the
same quality standards as traditional Nonviolent Crisis
Intervention® training.
With successful passage of the POST TEST, you will receive a
blue card and a certificate with an EXPIRATION DATE.
You will need to attend a one day refresher prior to the
expiration date.
HYBRID Overview
Two Essential Components
Nonviolent Crisis Intervention® hybrid training consists of two
components, and both are necessary for successful completion of the
program.
1. Web-based Instruction
The web-based component contains a variety of interactive
presentations, scenarios, videos, and learning assessments that relate
to each unit of the Nonviolent Crisis Intervention® training program.
During the web-based instruction, the program terms and definitions
are solidified. This allows for a unique focus on application during
classroom instruction.
ACCESS for 3 months from initial login.
HYBRID Overview
2. Classroom Instruction
The face-to-face Certified Instructor-led component builds on the webbased learning. Discussion, activities, and participant examples
prompted from the web-based instruction reinforce program concepts
with a focus on workplace application. Additionally, all personal safety
and physical interventions are taught and practiced during this portion
of the program.
Benefits to Learners
24/7 Content Access
Learners can access the web-based component of the program at their
convenience, regardless of the hour of the day or the day of the week.
This allows them to select the time frame that is most compatible with
their schedule.
Comfortable Pace
The self-directed learning gives participants the flexibility to proceed
through the web-based content at a pace that is comfortable for them. If
they choose, they can spend more time exploring new concepts with
the review options that are available throughout the program.
Benefits to Learners

Save and Return Convenience
The web-based portion also allows learners to save their work at
the end of each unit and return to it at a later time. This provides
the opportunity to divide the web-based content into sessions
that best fit their schedule.
Knowledge Base
Learners come to the classroom portion with a knowledge base
of Nonviolent Crisis Intervention® training and are ready to build
upon the learning.
They complete assignments during the web-based portion, print
them, and bring them to class for discussion.

Things to consider…
•
Have honest conversations about structures to support each building
with the development of crisis teams that are trained in CPI. Including
regular crisis team meetings to plan, practice and support the needs of
students who are having ‘behavior failures’.
•
Think about the future of getting an in house trainer to provide new staff
with 2 day trainings and refreshers as needed. Schedule a refresher
(Autism, Working with Nonverbal Clients, or a General refresher) before
the end of this year.
•
Consider implementing Positive Behavior Supports at each school.
