SIVA is offering an incentive program for organizations currently using CPI and Mandt systems. We will be doing several Train The Trainer programs in BC and Alberta. SIVA has proven to be more cost effective as well as in line with Provincial standards and Canadian standards. A Canadian model created by Canadians that work directly in the field on a daily basis.

The SIVA Program

SIVA Training has developed a holistic, relationship-based model that effectively utilizes collaboration, goal-direction, self-management and healthy empowerment to strengthen relationships and create safety with individuals with challenging behaviours and complex needs. An alternative to crisis-focused programs, the SIVA philosophy and guiding principles inspire problem solving, decision-making and systemic change in how programs establish and maintain safety. The SIVA model is further represented by clear and concise relationship-based strategies of support that participants are able to apply immediately upon completion of the training.
