Crisis Prevention Institute Case Study

Archway Programs – New Jersey

Introduction

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

“For consumers, CPI has allowed them to recognize how much they can control their own environment by making good decisions. For the staff, it has given them more confidence in dealing with disruptive kids because they feel they can implement effective de-escalation techniques before having to physically intervene.”

“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.)”
