Recognise & Respond to Crisis Behaviour

The programme includes all of the elements included in the CPI Verbal Intervention™ programme. Starting with these previous skills you learn simple behaviour assessment and decision-making skills to ensure escalation is avoided.

When faced with a behavioural crisis that places staff or others at risk of injury, you learn how to focus on the least-restrictive physical intervention to ensure the Care, Welfare, Safety, and SecuritySM of those you support.
