Non-Violent Crisis Intervention Training
Whether it’s domestic or family violence, stranger violence, cultural violence, childhood aggression, workplace harassment, mental illness or disorder, sexual assault, or dealing with a bully, a non-violent response can de-escalate a situation that could become dangerous for the individual or the person responding and trying to find a peaceful outcome.
The objective of this training is to provide you with tools that can help you manage those who may be potentially violent either verbally or physically. You will discuss well-tested techniques that may help you become more confident, calm, consistent and successful when interacting with potentially violent individuals.
