Preventing a Crisis Before It Happens: Principles of Nonviolent Crisis Intervention.

Tuesday, May 5, 2018. 1:30 p.m. Close your eyes and picture this: You are working in a community behavioral health agency, moonlighting in an ED, or maybe training as a fellow in a large academic psychiatry department. You come out of an office after hearing several loud voices outside and see a person (possibly a patient or a visiting family member) getting upset with the front desk staff about scheduling an appointment. The individual's behavior is becoming increasingly disruptive and is on the verge of becoming violent. Seemingly, every day we read or hear about violent incidents or other disruptive behaviors occurring in health care settings. It is widely accepted that early intervention and attempts at de-escalation can prevent many of these situations from escalating and becoming violent.

In addition, developing self-awareness of how our own behavior (verbal, nonverbal and paraverbal) may influence a developing crisis is critical to de-escalating a potential crisis. As a Crisis Prevention Institute (CPI)-certified instructor, I am excited to share with you aspects of CPI's Nonviolent Crisis Intervention® training. My goal for this training is to provide you with practical skills for managing and preventing difficult behavior. The foundation of this training is CPI's Crisis Development Model SM.

The model uses a series of recognizable behavior levels that individuals may go through during a crisis moment. It also teaches corresponding attitudes/approaches that healthcare professionals can use to de-escalate the disruptive/violent behaviors.

Instructor Manual For The Nonviolent Crisis Intervention Training Program

During this highly interactive session, you will explore how a crisis develops, learn how our own verbal, nonverbal and paraverbal behaviors can impact situations, and learn and practice through role-plays CPI's proven strategies for safely resolving situations at the earliest stages when confronted by anxious, hostile or violent behaviors. I encourage you to come and take part in this unique experiential session during the 2018 APA Annual Meeting.'
