Consultation and Training for Schools and Therapeutic Facilities
Dr. Greene and his colleagues offer a variety of virtual and on-site training options on the CPS model. Contact us if you’d like to discuss the possibilities.
Half and Full-Day Workshops
If your staff are relatively new to the CPS model, a half- or full-day workshop will provide a general overview of the CPS model (key themes, use of assessment instrumentation, and solving problems collaboratively), and can be provided either on-site or by webinar.
A two-day training provides a more intensive overview of the CPS model. The addition of the second day allows more time for video examples, practice, processing, discussion, and questions. These trainings are available either on-site or virtually.
If your school or treatment facility has already had some exposure to the CPS model – either through a training or through one of Dr. Greene’s books – and you want to take the next step, you’ll probably be interested in our 6-week plunge and 10-week proficiency trainings. With both options, a Lives in the Balance trainer will work virtually with a “core group” of your staff on a weekly basis. Staff submit and receive feedback on work samples they submit of the assessment tool of the CPS model (the Assessment of Skills and Unsolved Problems) and the problem-solving process (Plan B). These trainings can be focused on transforming the disciplinary culture of a school or treatment facility, or more specifically on reducing or eliminating the use of restraint and seclusion. Trainings are available in English, Swedish, Danish, Finnish, Norwegian, and French.
Whether you’re interested in getting a sense of what it will take to implement the CPS model in your school or facility, or need help on reducing restraint and seclusion, or need some guidance on a particular student, we’re happy to help you out.
