The training will consist of 4 hours of virtual training for CPI Verbal De-escalation, and 1 hour of in-person training for the CPI Physical Interventions and holds for those that need the hands on certification. We ask that you bring the blue card from the booklet that you will receive before the virtual training session to the in-person Physical session. The instructor will then validate your certification once you have completed the Physical portion. If your administrator requires you to be certified in the physical portion of this training you must first complete a virtual session and have your administrator contact professionallearning@nssed.org to schedule the 1 hour Physical Training in your district.
Through participation in this program, you will learn to identify different behavior levels that an agitated individual may experience from anxiety to a physically aggressive crisis situation. Through the CPI framework, you will learn proactive strategies for prevention, de-escalating strategies for low-level behaviors, physical intervention techniques for aggressive behavior, and strategies to repair and problem solve. By the end of this training participants will: Identify and know how to respond to various levels of crisis behaviors. Recognize how to manage your own consistent, calm behavior in order to influence a positive outcome in a crisis situation. Learn strategies to strengthen nonverbal communication. Develop limit-setting strategies when verbally intervening to de-escalate defensive behaviors. Learn safety intervention strategies to maximize safety and minimize harm. Explore the Decision-Making MatrixSM when assessing Risk Behavior. As well as explore a framework to help guide staff and the individuals in distress through a process of re-establishing the relationship. Participants who are trained in the Physical Interventions (In-person only) will: Explore the Physical Skills Review Framework and key legal and professional considerations when using restrictive interventions. Demonstrate and practice non-restrictive and restrictive interventions that are consistent with a set of physiological principles.
