What is Collaborative and Proactive Solutions?
Overview of Collaborative and Proactive Solutions:
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 behaviors in kids and solving those problems collaboratively and proactively. The model is a departure from approaches emphasizing the use of consequences to modify concerning behaviors. In families, general and special education schools, inpatient psychiatric units, and residential and juvenile detention facilities, the CPS model has a track record of dramatically improving behavior 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.
Core Components:
CPS emphasizes understanding the individual’s unique needs through a collaborative problem-solving process. This involves identifying the concerns of both the individual and the caregivers, working together to find solutions, and teaching skills to handle future challenges.
Benefits:
CPS has been shown to enhance emotional regulation, improve relationships, and foster a more supportive and effective learning environment. It is adaptable to various ages and situations, focusing on the root causes of behavior rather than specific diagnoses.
