Introduction

This case study of an educational institution is based on a March 2016 survey of Crisis Prevention Institute customers by TechValidate, a 3rd-party research service. The profiled organization asked to have their name blinded to protect their confidentiality.

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

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

“I have been through numerous CPI trainings and have found them all to be beneficial for my professional development. CPI has helped changed the culture at my current school.”

“Through CPI training, we have reduced restraints from 60 last year to only 4 this year.”
