HVED Crisis Prevention Institute Refresher Training (CPI) and
Use of Restrictive Procedures Training
Cher Polachek, Instructor
Monday, February 20, 2012
8:00 a.m. - 12:00 pm
Bluffview Montessori, 1321 Gilmore Avenue, Winona
WHO: Anyone who was formally CPI trained last school year
Intended audience:
Those of you who have been trained in Nonviolent Crisis Intervention last school year (training must occur yearly in order for you to remain in good standing with the CPI Institute) will have the opportunity to refresh your skills by attending this training. This training will meet CPI requirements. At this training you will revisit practices of Non-Violent Crisis Intervention by reviewing initial training skills, participating in lecture/discussion, reviewing and demonstrating personal safety techniques and CPI restraints, and successfully completing a post test.
This CPI training will renew your knowledge and confidence when faced with a student whose behavior is escalating towards a crisis. Your focus on the student’s behavior relative to the CPI Crisis Development Model, facilitates understanding the student’s verbal and nonverbal behaviors proactively, will assist in deescalating the crisis, reducing the fears and anxieties of the students and staff involved, while ensuring the care, welfare, safety and security of all involved.
Additionally, on August 1, 2011 Minnesota Statute 124A.0942 became effective. In addition to the CPI refresher requirements, this statute REQUIRES that “staff that use restrictive procedures” (i.e. restraint or seclusion) “shall complete training….”. It further outlines training requirements that will now be met during scheduled CPI trainings. Any districts intending to use restraint or seclusion with students must have their team members trained prior to implementing these therapeutic interventions.
Come in comfortable clothing and be prepared to be involved!
Seating is limited, so you must register with Leslie Johns ( JLIB_HTML_CLOAKING ).
HVED covers all costs of CPI Training for its staff & the staff of its member districts.
