School and Community Crisis Prevention Institution (CPI) training

Boys & Girls Clubs of Southern Nevada (BGCSNV) proposes implementing the Crisis Prevention Institute's (CPI) Nonviolent Crisis Intervention (NCI) training program at Cactus Park Elementary School and BGCSNV facilities. This program aims to equip educators and BGCSNV professionals with the skills to prevent and de-escalate medium to high-risk behaviors effectively. The training will utilize CPI's Crisis Development Model and Decision-Making Matrix to understand the underlying factors driving behavior, including trauma and psychological influences. The NCI training will be delivered through online modules and in-person certification programs, ensuring staff are well-prepared to handle crises. Cactus Park Elementary will contribute data on incident outcomes, comparing incidents managed by NCI-trained versus non-trained professionals. This data collection will help assess the effectiveness of the training in reducing the frequency and severity of violent incidents. Additionally, BGCSNV will hire a new CPI trainer to enhance training capacity and sustainability.
