Crisis Prevention Institute Case Study

Family Solutions – Oregon

Introduction

This case study of Family Solutions is based on a June 2016 survey of Crisis Prevention Institute customers by TechValidate, a 3rd-party research service.

“Crisis Prevention Institute training is the ONLY physical intervention/crisis de-escalation protocol approved in Oregon that is also an evidence-based practice.”

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

“Applied with fidelity, the CPI program has helped the number of interventions reduce over the years, and it has helped our agency culture change to using physical intervention ONLY when absolutely needed for a safety issue. For these last-resort cases, we have built using the CPI debriefing model into our Emergency Safety Intervention forms to ensure our fidelity to CPI as an evidence-based mental health practice.”
