Crisis Prevention Institute Case Study

Family Solutions

Introduction

This case study of Family Solutions is based on a December 2015 survey of Crisis Prevention Institute customers by TechValidate, a 3rd-party research service.

“CPI has improved staff de-escalation skills, overall safety, and has become ingrained in our training.”

“Reduction of physical restraint and workers’ comp claims ties in nicely with other EBMH practices like Collaborative Problem Solving and Positive Behavioral Supports, which we also use in our LTCT programs and community programs.”

“1. It is the only protocol that meets our agency needs that is also an Evidence-Based Mental Health Practice that we are required to use in a Medicaid-funded program.
2. It is more therapeutic than other interventions I have been trained in working with kids.
3. It has parallel programs to train our allied team (parents, bus drivers).
4. It is used in the vast majority of higher and lower levels of care as well as in the schools.
5. It is user-friendly and easy to retain information for the average staff member.”

“The concept that there is litigation support in the case of reportable incidents is nicely comforting and its research-based EBMH practice is a huge selling point.”
