Complete Behavior Change System

NCTI’s Complete Behavior Change System gives you a support structure that makes referring professionals' work more effective, strengthens program fidelity, and enhances learning by clients.
The Complete Behavior Change System is composed of five segments:
- Crossroads evidence-based curricula
- Crossroads Facilitator Certification Training
- Cog Talk, containing structured homework for each curriculum
- Real Colors Personality Instrument
- Tools and assistance for program fidelity
By utilizing each of these areas, a program will more closely align with the National Institute of Correction’s eight key principles of effective interventions. NCTI has already designed and prepared the tools that you will need.
