Non-Physical Crisis Intervention (NPCI)

The Non-Physical Crisis Intervention course is suitable for just about anyone who may deal with another person in crisis. This course gives you skills to view intent, anticipate actions, and apply some control in crisis and conflict situations so the need for physical contact can be avoided. It is an intensive course of non-violent conflict control including an assessment of present capabilities and skills, anatomy of personal conflict, the mental process, components of effective communication, non-violent communication, interpreting body language and reading threat cues, metamessages, paraverbal communication, controlling verbal exchanges, the do’s and don’ts of effective verbal intervention and more. Concepts covered include building support and empathy, self control and centering, peaceful resolutions to conflict (deflect, diffuse, and neutralize an attack), dealing with fear and anger, remaining detached, team approaches, keeping safe and out of court, tactical positioning, patterns of movement and self protection strategies. Included is a 40 page booklet and diploma upon successful completion of this college level course.

The On Guard system of training courses were originally designed and developed by Kevin Blok, a psychology professor, Aikido master instructor, police defensive tactics teacher and security consultant.

These courses are focused on establishing or re-establishing harmony and peace by controlling a situation without adding violence, while keeping all parties safe.
