Critical Time Intervention
About this Training:
Critical Time Intervention (CTI) is an empirically supported, intensive, case management model that is designed to work with vulnerable people during times of transition in their lives.
Originally developed at Columbia University in conjunction with the New York State Psychiatric Institute, the National Institute of Mental Health, and the New York State Office of Mental Health, CTI has been successful in working with various populations around the globe and has seen great success in preventing homelessness, particularly with populations of people who have a mental illness.
CTI focuses on a phased approach over a prescribed and limited time period wherein case managers work intensively with participants to develop a robust network of professional and natural supports while engaging in meeting and intensity tapering – working most intensively with participants early on and then tapering that intensity as time and housing stabilization occur. Further, a very specific type of Case Conferencing is taught and practiced that provides practical examples and practice with how it can be implemented.

Learners will begin with an evidence-based and “theoretical” background on the approach and then move into a series of very practical and “hands-on” exercises together that will demonstrate the earlier work in all of its components while receiving a great deal of feedback from the instructor.
The exercise portion of the training is very hands-on and learners should arrive ready to move and participate heavily in discussions, roleplays, and debriefs.
