CCG course developers maintain their working knowledge of what works best when dealing with crisis situations.
The Crisis Consultant Group, LLC is committed to further research, and development to the field of crisis intervention. We constantly strive to provide our students with the most up-to-date information on current trends and standards regarding crisis intervention. We monitor the industry for new laws, and related liability issues as well. Having direct experience with different federal, state, community associations, and task forces, our development team is able to stay current with new regulations and issues concerning crisis intervention in today’s workplace. . Throughout the development, and regular review of our curriculum, we endeavor to continually meet or exceed the recommendations and best practice guidelines of the following organizations:
The Joint Commission (Formerly JCAHO)
Commission on Accreditation of Rehabilitation Facilities (CARF)
Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS)
Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA)
The National Alliance for the Mentally Ill (NAMI)
The Child Welfare League of America (CWLA)

We follow the headlines, policy changes, and newsmakers in workplace violence, child safety incidents, school security, mental health, and corporate security. By doing so, we ensure that our curriculum stays focused on the most progressive and effective methods to handle crisis situations. Along the way, your staff is taught ways to work together during emergencies, rather then work against one another.

CMS Guidelines
42 CFR 482: Medicare and Medicaid Programs
Hospital Conditions of Participation and Patient Rights Federal Department of Health and Human Services Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services
There have been recent regulations passed relating to the use of restraint and seclusion in all Medicare and Medicaid participating hospitals. These new regulations came into effect on January 8, 2008 detailing specific training requirements which include demonstrated competency, periodic refresher training, use of verbal intervention skills, understanding positional asphyxia and related duress while performing crisis intervention. We are happy to say that our training curriculum is in alignment with these regulations. We are pleased that there is renewed attention in the industry geared towards the regulation of training curriculums ensuring that companies similar in nature to ours, are mandated to keeping the highest standards possible.

As mentioned earlier CCG, LLC only endorses the use of non-violent physical intervention when there is imminent danger or harm, and when it is only used as a last resort to stop or prevent such harm from occurring.
