Therapeutic Crisis Intervention
The purpose of TCI training is to help foster parents develop crisis prevention and intervention skills specifically designed to properly redirect negative behavior and to effectively de-escalate a potential crisis situation. Since some children display harmful behavior to themselves and to others, caretakers will benefit from learning techniques that can help reduce and minimize any threats or actual harm that can occur during a crisis.
