1. Assessing and Preventing Escalating BehaviorThe safest way to handle violence is to prevent it. Violence prevention begins when you can assess and prevent escalating behavior accurately and early. |
2. Safely De-Escalating and DefusingKnowing how to defuse volatile situations before they explode is the key to maintaining workplace safety, and helps you avoid a crisis - and a crisis intervention. |
3. Reducing and Eliminating Restraint & SeclusionAt NAPPI, we believe the safest restraint is the one that never happens. If a restraint must be used, it must be a last resort, and the safest remaining option, both physically and emotionally, for everyone. |
4. Developing Positive, Professional & Powerful RelationshipsIf you work with people who are difficult or who are under high levels of stress, you know that getting the job done right - being humane - is just as important as getting the job done - being effective. |
5. Creating a Safe Work EnvironmentThis training component is essential for anyone whose job responsibilities take them into unpredictable work environments. |
6. Self-Protection SkillsDesigned for people who have an obligation to stay safe without causing injury, NAPPI considers our unique self-protection and escape skills the safest in the industry. |
7. Manual Restraint SkillsRestraints must only be used as a last resort. When a restraint is the safest response, NAPPI teaches a spectrum of manual – hands only – restraint techniques. |
