Core Components of the Training

Verbal De-escalation

Understanding Triggers and Responses: The training begins with an in-depth exploration of the psychological and emotional triggers that can lead to aggressive behavior. Participants learn to recognize these triggers early and respond appropriately.
Effective Communication Techniques: The program emphasizes the power of words and tone in defusing tension. Techniques such as active listening, empathic engagement, and clear, calm communication are taught to help de-escalate potentially volatile situations before they escalate.
Scenario-Based Practice: Real-life scenarios are used to practice verbal de-escalation techniques, giving participants the opportunity to refine their skills in a controlled environment.

Safe Physical Management

Non-Restrictive Techniques: CVPSD’s training emphasizes non-restrictive physical management methods that prioritize safety for both the individual displaying aggressive behavior and the responder. Techniques are designed to protect without causing harm.
Positioning and Movement Strategies: Participants are trained in safe positioning and movement to manage physical aggression while minimizing the risk of injury. The focus is on maintaining control in a way that is respectful and non-threatening.
Team Response Coordination: For environments where team responses are necessary, the training includes coordination strategies to ensure that all responders act in a unified and effective manner.

Passive Holding Methods

Safety First: The passive holding methods taught in this program are designed to safely manage situations where physical intervention becomes necessary. The training ensures that participants can hold an individual in a way that reduces the risk of injury and is compliant with legal and ethical standards.
Gradual Release Techniques: Participants learn techniques for gradually releasing holds in a controlled manner, ensuring that the individual is stabilized before disengagement.
Legal and Ethical Considerations: The program covers the legal and ethical implications of using passive holding methods, ensuring that participants are fully aware of the boundaries and responsibilities involved in physical interventions.

Educators and School Staff: To manage student behavior effectively in classrooms and on school grounds.
Healthcare Providers and Caregivers: To handle challenging behaviors in patients or clients with compassion and care.
Security Personnel and Law Enforcement: To apply non-violent strategies in maintaining order and ensuring public safety.
Social Workers and Community Leaders: To de-escalate conflicts and manage crises in community settings.
