‘Learning About Leaky Brakes’

Peer In-Services

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Check out the Coming Events page for a list of upcoming Brake Shop educational opportunities.

Wait-times for education can be shortened considerably when interested staff and families ‘partner up’ with these existing bookings.  All groups advertised on our website to receive education from us have been approved for public advertisement, have agreed to ‘partner up’, and would be anticipating your call.

CPRI is now a member of the Ontario Telemedicine Network (OTN), a not-for-profit organization supporting provincial clinical, educational, and administrative telemedicine with a broad, secure and reliable videoconferencing network spanning the continuum of community health services.”  Brake Shop educational opportunities are available via OTN upon request.

No referrals to the Brake Shop are required to book (i.e. you do not need to be a client of the Brake Shop, or affiliated with a client of the Brake Shop, to book).

All educational opportunities are free of charge.

Peer In-Services introduce students to the ‘Leaky Brake Club’, which is made up of many famous individuals as well as many students who all have difficulty regulating or stopping their actions, attention, thoughts, or emotions.

Our structure and approach has been refined over many years, is supported by an evidence-base, and is informed by over 150 in-services to more than 30 000 youth.

To reserve an in-service, you may download the Peer In-Service Booking Form document and mail the completed form to the address given.  Alternatively, you can call our clinic secretary at (519) 858-2774 ext. 2025.

Teachers will receive a School Ratings of Student Disruptions to ‘Leaky Brakes’ Pre-Measure as part of the Peer In-Service Booking Form.  This form must be completed for a Peer In-Service booking to be confirmed.

One month following the Peer In-Service, please complete the School Ratings of Student Disruptions to 'Leaky Brakes' Post - Measure form (to be completed by the same teacher and also now the child/youth).  Please return this measure to our clinic.
