Will you make my child get treatment?
All of our services are voluntary. This means we have to get informed consent.

Our clinicians will explain to you and your child:
Our clinicians have lots of experience talking to children and families about our programs.
How can I make a complaint?
CPRI staff members want children/youth and families to know that they can give feedback or suggestions. Any individual also has the right to make a complaint against CPRI. Making a complaint will not affect the services you or your child/youth receives. To learn about making a complaint, click here.
