Open to All Staff - CPI Initial

The following featured Professional Development course focuses on Nonviolent Crisis Intervention training (also know as CPI training), an essential tool for Special Education staff and a valuable tool for General Education staff as well! Nonviolent Crisis Intervention teaches strategies and techniques for addressing aggressive or potentially aggressive behavior while emphasizing the care, welfare, safety and security of all involved. Course focus is on prevention and de-escalation of risk behaviors, but hands-on disengagement strategies and holding skills are also taught. Participants will receive a training completion card from the Crisis Prevention Institute, as well as earning 12 clock hours.

This training is the Initial CPI Training course, aimed at staff who never taken a CPI training or staff that have an expired CPI Participant card. Participants need to dress comfortably, as this is a physical class with hands-on demonstrations.
