Non-Violent Crisis Intervention Course
Register For Your One-Day NVCI Course
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.
We have been offering this training for more than 10 years to thousands of people. Some of our customers include community colleges, daycares, law enforcement, healthcare workers, teachers, EA and EPAs, private businesses, transition workers and many more.
Our objective is to provide you with tools that can help you manage those who may be potentially violent either verbally or physically. We will discuss well-tested techniques that may help you become more confident, calm, consistent and successful when interacting with potentially violent individuals.
