Our Training Approach

Our train-the-trainer framework certifies your staff to become de-escalation and crisis prevention experts, who teach and apply these new skills and behaviors to staff across your organization.

 

Train-the-Trainer

Our proven model allows you to customize your training based on roles and risk levels, ensuring the right staff receive the right training. And when staff have the training they need to feel safe and confident in the workplace, you increase your retention and job satisfaction rates.
