The virtual training was great. I didn’t know you could do so many things with Zoom! It really helped that you were able to have the small discussion groups and the surveys.

Great job making the material useful and accessible for varying levels of engagement and experience. Great workshop – very helpful for my practice

The trainings went over well with our staff members, almost all sessions were at maximum capacity. The process of setting up these trainings with CTRI was smooth, they were always easy to get in contact with and made the process go smoothly (our first time)

The trainer explained things in the most understandable and engaging way I have ever seen. I loved every minute!

We have been teaching the De-escalating Potentially Violent Situations™ workshop to staff and faculty. They appreciate the workshop and the opportunities for self-assessment because the knowledge extends beyond the university context to everyday life. Participants are also able to use the practical tools in a constructive manner to help manage potentially violent situations. While our university is a very safe environment, this workshop gives our staff a better understanding of violence and more tools to make the campus even safer.
Chantal Bertrand
Operations Administrator, Campus Public Safety, McGill University
The De-escalating Potentially Violent Situations Training has become an indispensable training program for our school board. Our team of behavioral consultants have followed the Train-the-Trainer program and are now offering the certification to all principals, teachers, teacher’s aid and other school board staff professionals. The feedback we have received is that the school staff now feels more equipped and competent in managing situations where student’s stress levels and anger begins to escalate without having to retort to physical techniques.
