Non-Violent Crisis Prevention & Intervention (CPI) Refresher Training 2026-27

This workshop is for people who are seeking to RENEW their CPI certification. Non-Violent CPI Training is a prerequisite (and must have been taken within 18-months to be eligible for the Refresher training).

Legislation was passed regarding Seclusion and Restraint, which took effect on September 1, 2012. This legislation requires all schools to have at least one staff member trained in appropriate seclusion and restraint techniques.

CPI Training is designed for people who are involved with students in potentially aggressive situations. This may include teachers, paraprofessionals, administrators, school psychologists, school social workers, guidance counselors, bus drivers, and supervisors of lunchrooms and playgrounds.
