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

“CPI training improved my organization’s HCAHPS score.”

“CPI is very accommodating to meet our needs in enhancing the lives of the people we support. I have called the CPI office on many occasions over the 25 years I have been a Certified Instructor.
