Lives in the Balance is the non-profit organization I founded to provide free resources on the CPS model and to advocate on behalf of behaviorally challenging kids and their caregivers. The Lives in the Balance website is loaded with streaming video, a listening library, and lots of resources to help you understand and implement the CPS model. Just click and you'll see.
If your school, therapeutic group home, inpatient unit, residential facility, or juvenile detention facility wants to get trained in the CPS model, I'm going to do my best to make sure you get what you need.
If you want to buy books and DVDs that describe the CPS model and all its revisions and updates, you'll want to visit the CPS Store.
This new website contains a bunch of information to help educators implement the CPS model, featuring educators from Maine (where there's a lot of CPS going on). Not from Maine? That's OK...these resources are accessible to everybody. There's only one problem...this site isn't live just yet. Check back soon!
