On this page

HASC is pleased to introduce the Crisis Prevention Institute (CPI), a new Education Partner. CPI is a global leader in offering proven de-escalation and crisis prevention training to healthcare providers and other organizations.

As a HASC Education Partner, CPI brings nationally recognized expertise in violence prevention and crisis intervention training for professional organizations. The institute’s decades of experience include a record of working with hospitals and health systems to promote safety for patients, visitors and staff.

Workplace violence, which can involve threats or acts that cause physical harm, disproportionately affects healthcare providers. CPI programs help healthcare teams prepare for potential risks by empowering them with skills to identify and de-escalate crises.
