Crisis Intervention Training, Two-day classroom session – This session is designed for moderate to high-risk environments in which aggression/violence is likely to occur, i.e., health care emergency departments or group living/in-patient environments. The program is approximately 6.5 hours of prevention core concepts and 6.5 hours of self-protection and physical intervention techniques, including escorts and containments (as required). This session is conducted on-site at your organization for a minimum of 6 and a maximum of 20 participants, and can be customized to your specific agency needs as required. Certification is awarded to staff after successful completion. The session is very practical and incorporates group work and scenario-based learning.
Crisis Intervention Training, One-day classroom session – This session is designed for low to moderate-risk environments in which aggression/violence is possible; however agency data indicates a low frequency and intensity of episodes. The program is approximately 3 hours of prevention core concepts and 3.5 hours of self-protection and physical intervention techniques, including escorts and containments (as required). This session is conducted on-site at your organization and can be customized to your agency-specific requirements. Certification is awarded to staff after successful completion.
Our Crisis Intervention Train-The-Trainer (TTT) model is a five-day training program that can be conducted on-site at your organization.
This program includes all Trainer resources to ensure quality training within your agency (including a Trainer Manual, Learning Trak (physical competency checklist), PowerPoints, De- escalation Videos and access to our Trainer Portal). By the end of the five days, participants will be certified to train the SMG program at their respective organizations.
