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.
In Partnership with CTI:
Centre for Addiction and Mental Health,
William Osler Health Centre,
Markham Stouffville Hospital |
More than five thousand individuals have received certified
training through CTI. 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
- Reduce litigation
