Community Involvement

The Crisis Prevention Institute, Inc. provides consultation and testimony to legislative and accrediting bodies regarding training in the management of challenging behaviors. Emerging issues, such as inclusion of special needs students in mainstream classrooms, community placement of institutionalized persons, reports of abuses in care homes, and risks relating to the use of physical restraints, have increased CPI's involvement in research and prompting dialog and action.

Testimony, Consultation, and Collaboration
CPI is regularly contacted by consumer advocacy groups, professional organizations, care providers and other stakeholders who respect the CPI training philosophy and who are formulating their own position statements regarding disruptive and aggressive behavior management, violence prevention, de-escalation techniques, and the use of physical interventions. When regulatory bodies begin to formulate legal requirements regarding training in the use of physical interventions, CPI assists service provides in structuring approaches to meet evolving requirements, and provides expert testimony in the development of many such requirements. It is difficult to list all the instances where CPI has had the opportunity to be a catalyst for change. Please contact us for more information.
