The Nonviolent Crisis Intervention^® Program. . .Not Just Physical Restraint Training

Sometimes prospective customers ask, “Is this where I can get physical restraint training?” The Nonviolent Crisis Intervention^® program includes physical interventions and personal safety techniques, which are designed to maximize the safety of everyone involved in a crisis situation. However, the real intent of training is to learn a system of verbal and physical intervention techniques to allow staff to recognize and address escalating behavior at its earliest stages, before it escalates further.

CPI teaches that staff should only consider the use of a physical intervention as an emergency intervention to respond to an individual posing an imminent danger to self or others and that the physical intervention is a last resort. Rather than restraint training, the Nonviolent Crisis Intervention^® program focuses on ways to avoid the necessity to restrain.

Staff must be aware that serious physical and psychological risks are inherent in any physical intervention, and indeed the only truly safe physical restraint is the one that never occurs. To help explain these risks, CPI has published, Risks of Restraints, and included this information in its training materials.
