“People Don’t Care How Much You Know, Until they Know How Much You Care” “People don’t care how much you know, until they know how much you care” is a quote by John Maxwell, a great influential leadership instructor and trainer. You should take some time to check him out and consider reading some of his bestselling books. This quote makes a lot of sense, because in a crisis prevention situation, nobody’s really interested in how successful they been in the past in de-escalating people, or calming past situations, a police resume, or Marine Corp resume or accomplishments, none of it.

Understanding Crisis Prevention Training In A Modern World

  Everyday understanding of crisis  Learn about our cpi crisis prevention intervention at our online cpi crisis prevention intervention page. Bruce Wampold(2001), an American psychotherapy researcher, emphasizes in his "contextual model" that the client expects, among other things, that the therapist provides a plausible explanation for his or her suffering and an associated action plan has. Entering into a trusting relationship, which according to Wampold is essential for the success of an intervention, is made easier by the fact that these explanations are comprehensible for the clientele. This applies all the more in the very short encounters in crisis intervention, in [...]

The person's response included intense fear, helplessness, or horror."(Bastine 1998, p. 469). This addresses a series of events that [...]

Summary of Crisis Prevention Techniques

Crisis intervention is a preventive offer of help that can provide relief in crisis situations, recognize and reduce dangers and support efforts to cope. Crisis institutions are characterized by specific characteristics, but differ in their mandates or priorities. These can include psychosocial crisis intervention, suicide prevention as well as psychiatric emergency support. A crisis can be understood as a process of change that is open, both towards health and towards illness. There are general as well as specific models of action tailored to the type of crisis.

A Study On Crisis Prevention Training

This study helps to understand violent behavior but is not exhaustive on the phenomenon under investigation and requires a more in-depth analysis. The work has some limitations. Only the most recent literature of the last 10 years was considered and the PubMed and EMBASE databases were interrogated, not involving the minor ones. The sample of studies was oriented towards specific populations and this factor may have reduced the generalizability of the results.

Mental Illness Crisis Intervention

A psychiatric emergency is a condition that is often caused by a psychiatric illness such as schizophrenia and involves a high level of need for action to prevent life-threatening or other serious consequences (Rupp 1996). If there is danger for the helper, both a mobile operation and the involvement of the police may be necessary. The description of a psychiatric emergency can be clarified through the use of status pictures. Those affected are often afraid , confused, apathetic or restless, possibly no longer controllable or slowed down, have a disturbed relation to reality with clear consciousness, are desperate, possibly even violent [...]

Loss Crisis Prevention and Intervention

Separation crises and crises after the death of a close person are more common reasons for crisis counseling. The strength of the crisis experience is related to the characteristics that Filipp identified in her concept “Critical Life Events” presented above.(Filip 1997). These characteristics include the required level of re-adaptation or re-adaptation, as well as the unpredictability of the event and its severity. Other stressful factors can be a symbiotic relationship with relatives, a lack of social support, the course of the event and, in the case of separations, the associated impairment of self-esteem(Dross 2001, p. 70).

This review aims to evaluate the effectiveness of de-escalation techniquesto manage the aggressive actions of the psychiatric patient. The 14 de-escalation techniques investigated in the study by Price O. et al, are applied on a continuum that goes from support to control and are divided into: 6 techniques called "Support" (passive intervention, reassurance, distraction, problem identification, resolution, reformulation) with the aim of allowing the patient to use his own resources to self-regulate aggression; 4 “Non-physical control” techniques (environmental manipulation, reprimand, deterrents, education) with more authoritative interventions that explicitly affirmed the control of personnel in containing harmful behavior; 4 "Physical control" techniques [...]

San Antonio Texas History

The American city of San Antonio Texas this weekend experienced an exciting act of recognition of the role that Spain played 300 years ago with the presence of families from the Canaries and who founded the first urban space in San Antonio Texas. The name of San Antonio Texas is due to the fact that the original American tribes, the Caddos, called the Spanish "tayshas," which in their language meant allies against the Apaches. The canaries pronounced that as Texas. Later it adapted as Texas. In Texas they have waved flags of Spain, France and Mexico. After becoming independed from Mexico, [...]

Los Angeles California

On September 4, 1781, Felipe de Neve, Spanish governor, established a colonial population of only 44 neighbors in New Spain (in the current state of California), in the region known by the natives as the Valley of Smoke. The Spanish Franciscans Junípero Serra and Juan Crespi had already established a mission in that place which they named Pueblo de la Reina de los Ángeles (the current city of Los Angeles). The largest city in the United States has a Spanish name and is a town: the Town of Nuestra Señora la Reina de los Ángeles de la Porciúncula, better known as [...]

Once a Jerk, Always a Jerk

Not too long ago, there was an incident in Arizona between a professor at Arizona State University and a police officer. (try our cpi training online or our crisis intervention certificate) It’s gone viral, so you may have seen it. The professor was walking across the road—apparently jay-walking—as the police officer pulls up and stops her. They get into a verbal altercation. At one point she says something to the effect of “Well, you didn’t need to be disrespectful!” The next thing you know, the situation becomes physical with the officer slamming the professor to the ground.

I received a call a while ago from a facility where we had conducted training. (try our cpi training online or our crisis intervention certificate) They had an incident where a staff member unintentionally utilized a hybrid technique of one of ours, and another move they had seen somewhere. A complaint arose that the staff member behaved in a contradictory manner from how they’d been trained. They were accused of doing something different than they’d been taught. The call was with a number of people on the line, and the facility was recording the call as part of the investigation. For [...]

7 On Your Side

There is a news station in the Washington, D.C., local area, whose slogan used to be, “7 on your side.” (try our cpi training online or our crisis intervention certificate) In crisis intervention, that slogan is a neat concept, especially for those working in a hospital, or in law enforcement. If I knew that I had seven of my coworkers--my teammates--right there with me any time I entered into a crisis situation, I would definitely feel more confident. That team mentality is what I want to focus on, though. Obviously, having a rapport with the individual with whom you’re working is [...]

Pedal to the Finish Line

When I think about the process of crisis intervention, I have to believe in myself and that I actually will be successful in whatever it is I’m trying to do at the moment. Whether it’s trying to convince somebody to do something I want them to do, or persuading them to not do something they’re about to do, (especially if its them getting ready to become violent) (try our cpi training online or our crisis intervention certificate) I must go into it believing the outcome will be what I want it to be.

When Banks Compete, You Win

A problem that sometimes comes up during crisis intervention, is competition. (try our cpi training online or our crisis intervention certificate) Competition among staff. As responders, we need to consider how much of a negative impact our “competition” might have on our ability to handle a crisis. I believe it’s huge. Let’s say, for example, I’m going in to de-escalate little Johnny, and you disagree with the way I’m doing it. You think maybe I’m being too soft, you may think I’m not enforcing a limit well enough, or you may think that I’m being too hard on him. Yet in [...]

What a great feeling! This slogan reminds me of others I mentioned before—where the outcome is assured, and you’re in great hands. Knowing that people are behind you, and they’re backing you up is a great feeling, but I also recognize that others on my team allow me to take the lead, when they don’t have to.

Pardon me, do you have any Grey Poupon? (filthy rich accent) If you know me, you’ll quickly realize that statement is not at all fitting to my character. Have I ever used Grey Poupon? Sure I have, but it’s not my first choice. (try our cpi training online or our crisis intervention certificate) Why don’t I prefer Grey Poupon? Could it be that I’m not from England, and don’t prefer tea and crumpets? Probably. Saying I actually preferred it would be me trying to be someone I’m not. When you are dealing with someone in crisis, don’t try to be something [...]

The Relentless Pursuit of Perfection

We talked earlier about setting the bar so high that your desired objectives become unattainable, and the expectations you have for an individual may be too far above and beyond what they are able to achieve. (try our cpi training online or our crisis intervention certificate) We want to make sure we don’t do that. Instead, we want to make sure that we’re creating positive and achievable goals for an individual to reach, as well as ensuring we don’t discount the positive steps they are currently or already taking .

I remember a mentor of mine used to always tell me, “Brendan, the only thing you need to worry about is making sure that your side of the street is clean.” (try our cpi certificate or our crisis intervention training) I never forgot that, because it was critical to always ensure that what I did was “clean”. It didn’t matter what you did or said to me. It didn’t matter how you chose to treat me. None of that mattered. The only thing that mattered was my side of the street.

“You Need To . . .”

In our training at CCG, we teach our students to avoid the use of the statement, “You need to.” (try our cpi certificate or our crisis intervention training) The only time I’m going to use the phrase, “You need to” is when it has to do with safety and security. I touched on this earlier, and I can’t emphasize it enough.

You, also, have to answer to a higher authority. Your supervisor. When you go to work, think about your supervisor standing right there in the room with you.

Heinz 57

Did you know that the number 57 in Heinz 57 has no real meaning at all? (try our cpi certificate or our crisis intervention training) I used to think it meant the company had 57 different products, but that’s not so. When the Heinz 57 catch phrase was developed, the company already had over 60 products! John Heinz just thought the number 57 sounded good. It was catchy and got attention. In crisis de-escalation, the number 57 might represent the number of different ways you can approach a particular situation. In other words, the method of de-escalation that you use today, [...]

“If This, Then That”

One of the verbal intervention techniques we talk about in CCG training is the concept of “If this, then that.” (try our cpi certificate or our crisis intervention training) It simply means that should I find myself in a situation where I’m telling somebody, “If you don’t stop this, then that is going to happen,” I need to shut my mouth right then and there. More often than not, when you propose a direction, or an order in that phrasing, it sounds like nothing more than a threat. “If you don’t stop jumping on the couch, I’m going to drop your [...]

The Right to be treated with Dignity and Respect

I think we’d agree that everyone has a right to be treated with dignity and respect. (try our cpi certificate or our crisis intervention training) When somebody goes into crisis does that right disappear? Do they forfeit that right? Absolutely not. Just because someone’s is not treating you respectfully as a responder, doesn’t mean you get to dish it out in kind. One of the hardest things to remember in the de-escalation process is that, when someone is making a personal attack or a verbal assault on your character, it is not the time to give them a little taste of [...]

You Have the Right to Personal Space

During all CCG training sessions we talk about certain rights afforded to individuals in crisis. (try our cpi certificate or our crisis intervention training) One of the most important is the right to personal space. People in crisis have the right to their own personal space. You, too, have the right to personal space. You are a first responder, and no matter what role you play in a crisis, you have a right to be safe in your space. What that space encompasses depends on your comfort level. It might be arms reach, it may be 5-6 feet, it may even [...]
