Collaborative Problem Solving (CPS)
Collaborative & Proactive Solutions (CPS) is the evidence-based, trauma-informed, neurodiversity affirming model of care that helps caregivers focus on identifying the problems that are causing concerning behaviours in kids and solving those problems collaboratively and proactively. The model is a departure from approaches emphasising the use of consequences to modify concerning behaviours. In families, general and special education schools, inpatient psychiatry units, and residential and juvenile detention facilities, the CPS model has a track record of dramatically improving behaviour and dramatically reducing or eliminating discipline referrals, detentions, suspensions, restraints, and seclusions. The CPS model is non-punitive, non-exclusionary, trauma-informed, transdiagnostic, and transcultural.
The evidence-based CPS model has 30 years of practice and research behind it, but it鈥檚 only been in Ireland for a few years. CIRcUL has partnered with the HSE and the Muiriosa Foundation on a seminal one-day event to promote the adoption and implementation of the CPS model in Ireland.
