4 courses · one foundation

26 hours of specialized operational training

Four courses. One foundation.

Crisis Intervention & Behavioral Health Response

Foundational training for encounters involving people experiencing behavioral health crises, including recognizing crisis indicators, communicating effectively, using de-escalation strategies, and determining an appropriate response. This is a foundational course, not a substitute for a 40-hour Crisis Intervention Team (CIT) program.

8 hours

De-escalation, Communication & Conflict Management

Practical communication approaches for difficult encounters — reading a situation, managing conflict, and deciding under pressure.

8 hours

Operational Language Access & Interpreter Operations

Working with people who have limited English proficiency: communicating across language barriers, briefing and deploying interpreters, and documentation. Backed by ZETRA's nationwide network of 200+ languages, so agencies can pair this training with real interpreter capacity when they need it.

Pricing

Transparent pricing for individual personnel and for agencies. Every agency engagement still starts with a written scope of work and fixed price before you commit.

Agency pricing is a flat price for live instructor-led training of up to 25 personnel. Groups larger than 25 are quoted individually.

How to read this

Individual: one person pays the price shown — for example, $345 for one person to complete the full ZETRA Core program.

Agency: the agency pays one flat price and trains up to 25 personnel together — for example, $6,200 for the agency to complete ZETRA Core. When 25 personnel participate, that works out to about $248 per person for the full 26-hour program.
