Crisis Prevention Institute Case Study

Winnipeg School Division – Manitoba, Canada

Introduction

This case study of Winnipeg School Division is based on a May 2016 survey of Crisis Prevention Institute customers by TechValidate, a 3rd-party research service.

“CPI training is very relevant and useful. The principles behind it are based on sound philosophy.”

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

“Using CPI training has led to improved student outcomes, because of an increase in direct instruction time. (For instance, test scores, student grades, graduation rates, etc.)”

“After implementing CPI training, our staff feel more confident in dealing with challenging behaviors in children before they get to the point of needing a physical restraint.”
