Prevention and Support gives the Direct Support Professional (DSP) tools on how to de-escalate interfering conduct. The DSP will gain knowledge about how to better understand what the person supported may be communicating with their behavior. The student will learn why it’s important to find out the function of a person’s behavior so a new replacement skill can be taught. Finally, if all least intrusive interventions have failed and imminent danger is present, the student will learn how to safely apply an emergency physical intervention technique.

Prevention & Supports Training w/ Keri Loo
Mar 16, 2026
I recently completed the Prevention and Supports training with Keri Loo, and it was an excellent experience. Keri is incredibly efficient and engaging, which made the long class feel much shorter and easier to stay focused throughout. She is very thorough and hands-on in her teaching style, ensuring that everyone understands the material without ever making anyone feel uncomfortable or inadequate.
What stood out most to me is how she presents the training in a way I have never experienced before. I have taken this course several times in the past, even back when it was CIT, but Keri’s approach is by far the most effective and meaningful. Her teaching is truly member-centered, which makes a big difference in how the information is understood and applied.
Because of the experience I had in her class, I plan to return to OMNEAN to complete my certification in the new PROUD training specifically because of Keri as an instructor, I hope to take another training with her! She truly is that great, and I highly recommend her to anyone taking this course.

The instructor, Keri, did an absolutely wonderful job in every measurable way. She took a subject that is not the most exciting and made it fun to learn, she was funny, creative, warm and friendly and extremely knowledgeable and made sure we all understood before moving on to new material, I cannot recommend highly enough.

This is a class that I'm not usually looking for to taking every 3 years, but our instructor "Chelsea" was very friendly and knowledgeable. She made everybody feel comfortable and helped us learn with ease. Thank you, Chelsea!

Keri Loo was a great instructor/teacher. My first time taking this course & learned so much on prevention and support. I will most definitely do another class in the future with her!
