Solutions

Nonviolent Crisis Intervention® Training:
Nonviolent Crisis Intervention Training focuses on verbal de-escalation and early intervention, giving staff an effective framework for decision making and problem solving, as well as teaching safe disengagements and physical interventions that can be implemented with the least use of force, providing the safest environment for all parties involved.

Verbal Intervention™ Training:
This program is ideal for organizations that have a hands-off policy, and for staff members who don’t experience higher risk situations requiring physical interventions, instilling the confidence and skills to verbally respond to disruptive behaviors, and prevent further escalation.
