Empowering Employees To De-escalate Crisis

What began as a simple attempt to create more effective techniques to deal with challenging or aggressive persons quickly evolved into a movement of changing and improving basic human interaction across the globe.

Headquartered in Richmond, VA, the Crisis Consultant Group, Inc (CCG) is a Certified Veteran Owned Small Business (VOSB) striving to improve how crisis situations are handled on a person-to-person, “front line” basis.

Courses have stretched coast-to-coast across the USA, from Bangor, Maine to Ventura, California, and north into Canada and south to St. Croix, USVI.

CCG has received inquiries for services from locations as remote as Warri, Nigeria, and as hostile as Kabul, Afghanistan.  Crisis situations have no boundaries; the need for effective training is global. Visit our “In The Press” page to learn more about CCG in the news.
