"A very positive experience with the Safety-Care program. QBS trained all of our Special Education staff, replacing a previous program that didn’t fully meet our needs. Thanks for developing such a great safety training course!"

Jennifer Donlon
Bonny Eagle School District

"Our facility houses over 200 adults with intellectual and other disabilities. In 2008, we transitioned our entire staff to Safety-Care. Embracing it has been a key factor in improving safety and quality of care."

David D. Lanier, Ph.D.
Bluegrass Oakwood

"We just completed our first Safety-Care Behavioral training. I knew it was a high-quality program while becoming a trainer, but now I’m even more confident after leading it myself."

"Beyond aligning with our ABA model, Safety-Care is the first truly evidence-based crisis prevention system I’ve seen."

Why Organizations Switch to Safety‑Care

Safety‑Care enhances compliance with competence.

Many districts, hospitals, and agencies transition from CPI (Crisis Prevention Institute) to Safety‑Care.

They switch because Safety‑Care is clinical, practical, and prevention‑first—not theory and restraint choreography. Teams leave training confident and ready to act, not just certified to comply.

What Makes Safety‑Care Different

Prevention Focused

Reinforcement‑based supports that reduce the frequency and severity of behavioral crises, grounded in evidence‑based behavioral science.

Practical

Scenario‑based, skills‑driven learning staff can apply immediately in their work environment.

Clinical

Developed by Board Certified Behavior Analysts (BCBAs) using errorless teaching (structured practice that minimizes mistakes while learning) and fluency‑based mastery.

Proven

Consistent reductions in restraint, seclusion, and injury across diverse settings. Trusted by thousands of organizations nationwide.

How Safety-Care Works (Train-the-Trainer)

1

Certify Trainers

QBS‑hosted trainer classes are BCBA‑led.

2

Train Staff

Certified Safety-Care Trainers deliver staff classes through traditional in-person or blended learning models.

3

Sustain Results

Additional modules and skill maintenance resources maintain fluency and outcomes.

No BCBA required on site to deliver staff classes—we provide the expertise and clinical oversight.

Compliance & Accreditation

Compliance & Accreditation

Designed to help you meet regulatory and accreditation requirements while delivering real‑world results.

QBS provides training and support; your organization interprets and applies requirements locally.

State and federal restraint/seclusion regulations (education & healthcare)
The Joint Commission and CMS patient‑rights standards
HCBS Settings Rule and state licensing for community programs
BACB, BHCOE, and payer expectations for ABA organizations

Funding & Incentives

Thousands of organizations use Safety‑Care to satisfy funding and insurer expectations. We’re aligned with how agencies fund behavioral‑safety and risk‑reduction training across markets. Funding approval remains your responsibility, but we’re happy to discuss how others approach it.

Allowability is local — we’re aligned and ready to discuss the approach.

Education: Special‑education budgets (IDEA Part B/CEIS), school‑safety and school‑climate funds, Title II‑A, Title IV‑A.
Healthcare: Patient‑safety and risk‑management budgets; insurer or workers‑comp incentives for injury reduction.
Human Services / IDD: Medicaid/HCBS training requirements and state provider‑training funds.
ABA Organizations: Payer/accreditation expectations and risk‑pool endorsements tied to injury reduction.
