Training for People Helping People

cantraining.org Home Training Consulting Services Breaking the Cycle Research / Publications What People Are Saying

Welcome

CTI, the Canadian Training Institute, saves lives – helps people come together in urban, rural and remote First Nation and Inuit Communities – “helps people helping people” – and works with those who are often oppressed or dismissed by society, including youth and families who struggle with addictions and/or mental health issues, gang-involved youth, single mothers, youth caught up in family violence, ex-offenders, and people with physical or intellectual challenges.

Purpose

We are a National Organization with offices in Toronto and Prince Albert, Saskatchewan. Our purpose is to reduce criminal behaviour and violence through the direct provision of services and by addressing the social determinants of health. To accomplish this, we provide training, consulting services, create resource materials, engage in collaborative action, and undertake applied research demonstration projects. We deliver youth gang exit programs and projects such as the Breaking the Cycle Programs in the Rexdale and Scarborough areas of the GTA.

Vision

CTI is committed to fostering inclusivity, equality and life-long learning by enhancing services which assist individuals to participate as responsible, valued and contributing members of Canadian society. In this respect CTI assists in the development of knowledge, skills and services that reduce crime, promote active participation and ultimately contribute to healthy individuals, agencies and communities. We have a special interest in working with First Nation, Inuit and Metis communities.

Mission

Our mission is to increase the effectiveness of client services delivered by “people working with people”, including criminal justice services and a variety of integrated behavioural health and social service agencies. We do this through training, networking and continued collaborative action, as well by facilitating personal, professional and organizational development provincially, nationally and internationally.

Building Safe, Healthy, Effective Code White Teams Through Crisis Intervention Training

They are predominantly staff members and volunteers in residential and related programs addressing family violence, mental health, addictions, ex-offenders, and the physically or mentally challenged. Our challenge is to develop and to deliver high quality, relevant training at the lowest possible cost. CTI also provides consulting assistance in a range of areas, including organizational reviews, analysis and redesign, team building, training needs assessment, and action research.

CTI has the training you need to:
  • Meet emerging accreditation expectations;
  • Reduce staff injury, absenteeism, and turnover;
  • Improve client and patient centered care;
  • Address government and union expectations for staff safety standards proactively;
  • Enhance risk management outcomes; and
