This is a 6 hour course and meets the requirement of CPI Nonviolent Crisis Intervention renewal training. Prerequisite to this course is previous CPI certification.
Experiencing a trauma can change the way a person perceives the world. Whether trauma is caused by a single event such as a natural disaster, or by a repeated or prolonged exposure to abuse, an individual's thoughts, feelings, and behaviors are filtered through his experience and perspective. Increasing your awareness about the trauma a person has experienced and the impact it has on him can help you when he becomes anxious or disruptive. As you sharpen your understanding of the person’s experience, your relationship with him will strengthen, and that rapport can make your interventions more successful. When you have the trust of someone who exhibits challenging behavior, you know how to reach him, how to communicate with him, and what will help him calm down and regain control.
This course examines the influence of trauma on behavior and offers strategies and staff approaches to promote a culture of care that is trauma informed and person centered for all stakeholders. With a better understanding of the function of behavior, those who have experienced trauma can be better cared for. The overriding philosophy of CPI is the care, welfare, safety and security of all parties.
