What Is the Association

The International Association of Nonviolent Crisis Intervention^® Certified Instructors (IANCICI^®)

Anyone who successfully completes a Four-Day Instructor Certification training program automatically receives membership status to IANCICI and is entitled to special support, services, and benefits.

IANCICI's membership consists of dedicated human service and business professionals around the world who are certified to deliver Nonviolent Crisis Intervention^® training, a program created to build awareness and skills in the safe management of out-of-control behavior. Developed nearly 30 years ago by the Crisis Prevention Institute (CPI), the program is now considered the international standard for violence prevention and intervention training.

IANCICI's Goals

• Formally validate a global standard for the safe management of disruptive and assaultive behavior—a standard that was established by those individuals who have become Nonviolent Crisis Intervention^® Certified Instructors—and by those organizations committed to its importance.
  
  
• Provide members with professional growth opportunities by establishing a forum to exchange valuable information and resources. The association also serves as a clearinghouse for up-to-date information on best-practice strategies, legislative issues, and other relevant professional resources.
  
  
• Serve as a positive voice and information broker, opinion leader, and change agent when serious issues relating to the management of disruptive and physically aggressive behavior are brought to the forefront of legislation, regulation, and policy—locally and around the world.
