Northwest Crisis Training, LLC utilizes Edgework methodology and over 20 years of experience by Patrick Fudally to provide training and consultation on business and personal safety with a focus on awareness, verbal de-escalation and verbal control techniques. Beyond simply teaching the skills we can also help develop and consult on procedures and polices for workplace safety.
Training Philosophy
At NW Crisis Training, our teachings are grounded in the principles of awareness and strategies aimed at slowing down and de-escalating potentially violent incidents. We understand the complexities of today’s environment; therefore, our curriculum is designed to equip participants with practical tools for enhancing their safety.
It is important to note that our training is not intended as a substitute for professional intervention during violent situations. We emphasize the recognition of when verbal communication and de-escalation methods are ineffective, advocating for individuals to adopt more appropriate responses to the threats they may encounter.
Our primary objective is to empower participants with the confidence and skills necessary to safely interact with individuals in crisis. This training transcends basic verbal techniques by providing real-world insights into recognizing escalating aggression and determining the most effective methods for intervention.
