Crisis Prevention

Sustainable training for managing difficult situations. 

GuideOne is proud to partner with Crisis Prevention Institute (CPI), an organization that provides nonviolent and de-escalation training and certification programs to equip organizations with the skills, confidence and framework to safely manage and prevent difficult behavior.

With its sustainable train-the-trainer model, CPI certifies members of your organization to instruct other members, so you can extend a culture of safety to everyone you serve.

Nonviolent Crisis Intervention®

The training complies with all current legislation and is evidence-based and fully accredited, so your staff can earn continuing education credits.

Renewal Training for Recertification

To maintain status as a certified instructor, individuals are required to attend a Renewal Training facilitated by CPI every two years (the renewal cycle begins on the day of original certification). By re-examining course content from the perspective of an active certified instructor, a renewal course offers the opportunity to gain new training insights and develop an even deeper understanding of the program’s core concepts.

CPI provides multiple renewal certification programs for Certified Instructors, with virtual-only and blended training options.

CPI uses the best practices available for training on the topics of nonviolent crisis prevention and intervention training; however, training is no guarantee of the absolute safety and security of those involved should a violent incident occur.
