Nonviolent Crisis Intervention: CPI

The Nonviolent Crisis Intervention ® program, developed by the Crisis Prevention Institute (CPI), not only teaches staff to respond effectively to the warning signs that someone is beginning to lose control, but also addresses how staff can deal with their own stress, anxieties, and emotions when confronted with these challenging situations.

The Nonviolent Crisis Intervention® training program is a holistic behavior management system based on the philosophy of providing the best Care, Welfare, Safety, and Securitysm for staff and those in their care, even during the most violent moments. The program focuses on preventing disruptive behavior by communicating with individuals respectfully and with concern for their well-being. The program teaches physical interventions only as a last resort—when an individual presents an imminent danger to self or others—and all physical interventions taught are designed to be non-harmful, noninvasive, and to maintain the individual’s dignity. Follow-up debriefing strategies are also key components of the training program.

TCSE has certified training teams that offer ongoing trainings for initial certification or refresher training to staff and member districts.

* TCSE employees are required to be CPI certified.
