Oasis Behavioral Health uses a patient-centered approach to behavioral health. We take every measure possible to remain hand free in our efforts to de-escalate a client who may become angry or agitated.
What is Crisis Prevention Institute?
CPI is a standard-setting resource for organizations that serve society’s most vulnerable. Its proven model for staff training and personalized support empowers professionals who strive to sustain true cultures of compassion.
Our staff attempt to process with clients and hear their concerns and address any issues they amy have. However, sometimes due to psychiatric stressors clients may become physically violent and be a threat of harm to themselves or others. In these instances Oasis staff will implement CPI measures and remove the client from the dangerous environment so that they may gather themselves in a calm quiet space with the support and supervision of our staff. Oasis does not use mechanical restraints and always honors the clients dignity and respect in crisis situations.
History of CPI
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 in a way that is compatible with staff’s duty to provide the best possible care.
Developed during the 1970s, Nonviolent Crisis Intervention® training provided a balance in behavior management that was unique at that time. The company co-founders’ human service experience and backgrounds in kinesics, physiology, and communication contributed to the development of an innovative, holistic system for defusing escalating behavior.
Why Choose CPI
Understanding effective communication and human physiology during aggressive moments, as well as the core philosophy of maintaining Care, Welfare, Safety, and SecuritySM, provides the training’s solid foundation. Since the company’s inception, and now in its fourth decade, CPI remains on the forefront of critical issues and best practices in behavior management.
Since 1980, more than six million human service professionals around the world have participated in CPI training programs to learn proven strategies for safely resolving situations when confronted by anxious, hostile, or violent behavior, while protecting the therapeutic relationships with those in their care.
