COVID-19 Update – September 17, 2020

Safe Management Group is committed to assisting its clients during this challenging period of isolation and social distancing.  To that end, the following services are available as options.

Individual Specialized Consultations/Consult Reviews
Agencies in need of a specialized consultation or an annual consult review, may contact SMG to schedule a remote consult via secure Zoom platform. 

PLEASE NOTE:  depending on the complexity of the consultation required, remote services may not be sufficient or practical.  This will be determined at the time of booking.

Virtual Classroom Training
Agencies that possess in-house SMG Trainers who wish to conduct the theory portion of Crisis Intervention Training remotely via zoom or another video conferencing platform, can access our Virtual Classroom online course.  This allows users to access and download the participant manual online and to complete the course quiz online, eliminating the need to deliver hard copy manuals and to administer the test in-person. Users can access this course for the same price of the manual.  Please call our corporate office to purchase licenses for this option.

Online Training
SMG continues to offer online Crisis Intervention Training, for both the Initial course and the Refresher program, through our Learning Management System.  Completion of online training certifies participants in theory only.  Full certification requires completion of physical self-protection and intervention skills.

Remote Classroom Physical Training
Due to social distancing requirements, training staff in the physical components of SMG’s Crisis Intervention Training program presents many challenges.  We have recently launched an online Physical Training – this can be utilized by staff currently holding a valid SMG certificate, staff can do at their own pace and it takes about 2 hours to complete, upon successful completion a certificate can be printed. If you have new staff they could also do this option, but you would need to have a Trainer observe them doing the physical upon completion of the online to ensure competency.

Agencies that do not possess in-house SMG Trainers can contact our corporate office directly to inquire about remote physical training with our Trainers/Consultants.

Trainer Re-certification
SMG now offers online Trainer Re-certification.  This process is typically only available to Trainers who have maintained their Trainer status for 3 consecutive years.  This option is only available every other year; for example: If a Trainer re-certified via classroom-based training in 2019, he/she can re-certify online in 2020.  In 2021, on-site classroom training would again be required.  SMG is currently working on remote options to re-certify Trainers, who do not meet the criteria for online training.

If you have any issues or concerns, please don’t hesitate to call or email the office.

Stay Safe and Healthy!! And remember we are all in this together.
Safe Management Group.
