Prevention
​
Our Prevention Certification course is designed for all people providing care to others. This course focuses on the development of communication skills, relationship building, skills needed to identify escalating behaviors, and content designed to teach staff the importance of understanding those they support. At NCI+ (National Crisis Interventions Plus) we seek to provide person centered care and partner it with easily understandable teaching situations and techniques. This allows the skills learned to be applied in situations staff may encounter when placed in a support role.
Defensive
​
Our Defensive Techniques allow the staff being attacked to block attack attempts and move to a safer position. These techniques give staff the skills needed to protect themselves from common punches and grabs, while not placing hands on the person in a restrictive manner. Many times utilization of prevention skills and good defensive skills can help staff deescalate difficult or stressful situations before escalation to more dangerous levels can occur.
Restrictive
​
Our Restrictive Techniques enable staffs to use their hands to gain release or secure the person exhibiting extreme aggression towards staff or others. Attack seems harsh, and not as person centered. If using attack, perhaps coupling with aggression as well. At NCI+ (National Crisis Interventions Plus) we require that restrictive techniques be used in the least restrictive and safest manner possible. Restrictive Techniques are emergency techniques of last resort. They are to be used to ensure the safety of persons receiving support and the staff supporting them. These techniques should never be used as consequences or punishment. Restrictive techniques are only to be used to ensure the safety of the person or others.
