The Crisis Prevention Institute offers training and programs to help organizations, including schools, manage all kinds of crises and develop skills to treat people with dignity and respect while de-escalating situations: Verbal intervention, nonviolent crisis intervention, and nonviolent crisis intervention with advanced physical skills. Verbal intervention training is ideal for teachers because it instills the confidence to verbally de-escalate disruptive behavior. The more advanced training is recommended for school staff that need to intervene when situations are more complicated. Crisis Prevention Training makes a positive impact on all staff and their students by supporting social, emotional, and cognitive well-being. By having a positive school culture and climate, schools can create a safer learning space for everyone.
