The Non-Violent Crisis Intervention® (NCI) program is considered the worldwide standard for crisis prevention and intervention training. This two half-day virtual training (9am-12pm) and in-person training (9am-4:30pm) will teach clinic staff de-escalation techniques and intervention strategies for workplace violence prevention. The workshop includes independent self-paced content, lecture, and situation-based guided practice with certified instructors. Now available as a blended learning course with a reduced classroom delivery option to adhere to social distancing protocols. In person attendance is required on the last day of the scheduled training on March 30 from 9am-4:30pm, location TBD.
Limited space available on a first come first served basis.

By the end of the virtual training, participants will:
• Identify warning signs that indicate an escalation toward aggressive or violent behavior.
• Learn how to take appropriate measures to avoid, decelerate, and de-escalate crisis situations.
• Assess the level of risk associated with crisis behavior and make appropriate decisions related to the management of such risks.
• Identify the impact of crisis events and describe post-crisis responses that can be used for personal and organizational support and learning.
• Address the serious issue of physical intervention through careful assessment of risks and an evaluation.
