Description
For more than 25 years, CPI has been dedicated to the creation of crisis prevention and intervention training and resources supporting the work of helping professionals and those whom they serve. Since the company's inception, and now in its third decade, CPI remains on the forefront of critical issues and best practices in behavior management—based on its founding philosophy of providing care, welfare, safety and security for everyone involved in a crisis moment.
CPI was established in 1980 for human service professionals to address the need for training in safe, respectful, noninvasive methods for managing disruptive and assaultive behavior that are compatible with the staff's duty to provide the best possible care.
training, was developed during the 1970s by the company's co-founder, whose human service experience and background in kinesics, physiology, and communication contributed to the development of an innovative, holistic system for defusing escalating behavior and safely managing physically aggressive behavior. This combination, understanding effective communication and human physiology during aggressive moments, along with the core philosophy of maintaining care, welfare, safety and security, provided a balance in behavior management that was unique at that time, and that was quickly adapted and successfully applied in a vast array of human service fields.
