Crisis Prevention Institute Inc. is the worldwide leader in evidence-based de-escalation and crisis prevention training and dementia care services. Since 1980, we’ve helped train more than 16 million people within service-oriented industries including education, healthcare, behavioral health, long term care, human services, security, corrections, corporate, and retail. At CPI, we are dedicated to changing behaviors and reducing conflict for the Care, Welfare, Safety, and SecuritySM of everyone. We believe in the power of empathy, compassion, and meaningful connections. We believe personal safety and security are the antidotes to fear and anxiety. It’s a philosophy that is central to everything we do, and traces back to our beginning. It is what defines and differentiates us and informs our core beliefs.
When we started providing this service, we were focused on teaching staff how to protect themselves, physically. It quickly occurred to me that self-defense techniques were only a part of the equation. The professionals we were training had a desire to provide a better experience for those in their care. Once that occurred to me, it became clear that we were not there to teach staff physical methods. We needed to focus on changing behaviors with respect and compassion. -AlGene Caraulia Sr., CPI Founder
