ABOUT JUMPSTART MASTERY
Jumpstart Mastery was founded in 2021 by Andy Prisco, a leading expert in Anger, Aggression, and Violence (AAV) response. With deep experience in preventing the use of force during behavioral crises, Andy has dedicated his career to mastering verbal de-escalation techniques and delivering practical, real-world training across multiple sectors.
​
In 2013, Andy founded one of the largest legislatively funded Psychiatric Emergency Response Team programs in the U.S. He also co-developed the first crisis intervention and verbal de-escalation certification offered by a
for-profit mental health association (2016).
​
Jumpstart’s training and consultation services are trusted by Federal, State, and Regional Law Enforcement Agencies, Correctional Systems, Behavioral Health Agencies, Mobile Crisis/Co-Response Programs, Youth and Family Services, and other public sector organizations facing rising AAV challenges.
​
What sets Jumpstart apart? Every instructor has extensive firsthand experience applying the very methods they teach – long before they became instructors. At Jumpstart, we live our message.

NEW COURSEWORK, RELEASED 2025
Behind the scenes
"
For me, [VerbalCraft] is a non-negotiable. If you really want to help the people you're working with — and even yourself in uncomfortable situations in your day-to-day life — this should be your go-to so you don't harm people you don't know, people you love, people you care about a lot."
"
This whole training has been amazing! Everybody needs to know this stuff. You already have the tools but you get them sharpened in [VerbalCraft].
It's something you will use every day with your significant other, your children, your parents... Absolutely take it, 100%."
"
[VerbalCraft] has given me strengths and strategies to work with people – kids and adults – to de-escalate certain situations from becoming bigger problems."
"
[JUMPSTART Mastery] teaches such critical skills that every Social Worker or Corrections Officer — anyone who works with people —
needs to know. It's more beneficial than most learning I've done
for behavior analysis."
"
I highly recommend [VerbalCraft] to anyone and everyone. I will be advocating for this class to be mandatory for every Social Worker."
