Safety-Care® for Education

Practical De-Escalation Skills For Every Tier Of Student Support

A core part of your district-wide school safety and behavioral health plan. Safety-Care equips educators, support staff, and transportation teams with practical, prevention-focused skills to manage behavioral crises safely and respectfully. Safety-Care aligns with existing district funding models and integrates naturally into MTSS and PBIS frameworks.

This approach supports district-wide consistency across schools, so staff respond the same way to behavioral escalation regardless of classroom, building, or role.

Why Schools Switch From Crisis Prevention Institute

Districts moving from CPI (Crisis Prevention Institute) to Safety‑Care report fewer restraints, fewer injuries, and better alignment with PBIS and MTSS (Multi‑Tiered System of Supports) frameworks. Safety‑Care provides practical, prevention‑first strategies staff can use immediately—not theoretical content or restraint sequences.

Safety-Care is designed for district-wide implementation, helping schools establish consistent, prevention-first responses across classrooms, schools, and staff roles.
