- Staff who have never been certified in crisis or physical intervention, or were trained more than one year ago, or received training in a technique other than CPI must be trained in “Non-violent Crisis Intervention”.
- Staff may be re-certified in CPI by attending a one-day recertification training, providing they attend training within one year of their last training. Each site is recommended to have 4-6 team members.
- As Crisis Prevention Intervention are based on team intervention (for safety and professional standards) it is recommended that schools send no fewer than 2 people from the same site.
- Maximum class size is 40 participants. Smaller groups increase the quality and safety of the program
Courses will address the MDE Standards for the Emergency Use of Seclusion and Restraing (adopted 12/12/06).
Multiple initial and recertification training opportunities are offered through the school year on an annual basis.
