RPS Longfellow Crisis Prevention Training

CPI (Crisis Prevention Institute) training is an evidence-based framework that teaches staff how to recognize, prevent, and safely de-escalate disruptive, aggressive, or high-risk behaviors. 

Core Philosophy

Care, Welfare, Safety, and Security: Every technique prioritizes the emotional and physical safety of both the individual in crisis and the staff member.

Prevention First: The primary focus is early intervention and verbal de-escalation to prevent situations from turning physical. 

Last Resort: Physical or restrictive interventions are used strictly when there is an immediate risk of harm and all verbal options have been exhausted.
