"CRPT did an outstanding job taking a vision and creating an easily deliverable training program for the education system. The detail and effort put into the CRIT for Schools Train-the-Trainer course was on full display, and we feel fully prepared to deliver this invaluable training course to our local educators. With this program, we move one step closer to addressing behavioral health crises in the most appropriate manner by the most appropriate means."

“I cannot speak highly enough about the exceptional quality and impact of the ‘Train the Trainer’ provided by Crisis Response Programs and Training for our School Resource Officers (SROs) and School Social Workers. This specialized training was invaluable, equipping our team with the knowledge and skills needed to recognize and respond to students facing mental health crises, with content specifically tailored for K-12 educators. The real-life, scenario-based training provided is incredibly empowering, giving school personnel the hands-on practice they need to feel confident and prepared when responding to students in crisis. This approach ensures that staff are not only knowledgeable but also equipped to handle these challenging situations effectively. The flexibility of the curriculum makes it adaptable for various audiences, which is incredibly valuable, especially with the numerous competing demands for staff time and resources. This approach makes it easier to integrate this essential training without overwhelming our personnel.”
