CPI Renewal Training (Blended Format) 

This CPI training is for those seeking their annual renewal training. Nonviolent Crisis Intervention Training prepares participants to prevent and de-escalate medium to high-risk behavior using both restrictive and non-restrictive methods. CPI’s framework introduces a 4-step process for turning crises into an opportunity for positive outcomes. Participants will learn how to create a plan for objectively responding to high-risk behavior, reducing the chance of severe outcomes. Additionally, this training allows participants to explore the effects of trauma and the psychology of the brain on the person in crisis and the responding individual.

** Blended classes will require self-paced modules to be completed prior to the in-person training. If you do not have the modules completed prior to the in-person portion, you will not be allowed to participate in the in-person portion.  It is also essential that the modules are completed with integrity. The in-person session builds directly on the content from the self-paced modules. If participants are not demonstrating a strong understanding of the book and module material, the trainer may need to extend the training to an additional day in order to cover the required content. This level of understanding is necessary for full certification.
