About NCI


Part I (Verbal De-Escalation)


Time: 9:00 AM - 1:00 PM


Through training in CPI’s Nonviolent Crisis Intervention (NCI), participants will develop prevention strategies for safely defusing anxious, hostile, or unsafe behavior at the earliest possible stage. Participants will learn how behavior escalates and how to respond appropriately and use the Verbal De-escalation Continuum to address and de-escalate behaviors. This updated course integrates the PBIS framework and demonstrates the connections between NCI’s program and positive behavior support systems in your school. By utilizing discussions, role-plays and activities, attendees will leave the workshop with certification in verbal de-escalation by the Crisis Prevention Institute and strategies to support students and staff in moments of crisis. 


Part II (Physical Disengagement)


Time: 1:00 PM - 4:00 PM


Through training in CPI’s Nonviolent Crisis Intervention (NCI), your school’s designated team (up to 4 for Enhanced member schools and up to 5 for Premier member schools) will develop prevention strategies for safely defusing anxious, hostile, or violent behavior at the earliest possible stage. Participants will learn how behavior escalates and how to respond appropriately in order to de-escalate. By utilizing discussions, role-plays and activities, attendees will leave the session with certification in verbal de-escalation, physical disengagement skills and physical holding skills by the Crisis Prevention Institute and strategies to support students and staff in moments of crisis.
