2025 School Train-the-Trainer Certification Course

About Course

Certification De-escalation & Restraint Training Learning Modules provide participants with research and evidence-based techniques for use in de-escalating escalated students while maintaining a safe environment. Participants will acquire the knowledge needed to identify situations that may require physical restraint (emergency situations where immediate danger exists) from situations when restraint should be avoided (forced compliance or convenience). Participants will learn easily mastered physical restraint and escape techniques that do not restrict the airway and may be used to prevent students from hurting school staff, other students, or themselves.
