Meet Your Instructor

Dr. Chuck Geddes, Ph.D., R. Psych

CTR Clinical Director / Author

Dr. Chuck Geddes has worked extensively in the fields of Child and Youth Mental Health and Child Welfare over the past 25 years. He developed the Complex Care and Intervention (CCI) program as a way to embed a trauma-focused therapeutic perspective into the care of children in the foster system.

What People Are Saying

“This system works! I have had over 10 years of experience working with children affected by trauma, abuse, and neglect in rural northern practice. I have watched countless children fall through the cracks as they wait for services, and become numb with multiple placements, and multiple medications. But now I have seen the other side and hope that every child in care, every child that has experienced trauma, abuse, and neglect, would be supported with this program. These children learn to survive, thrive, open up, and participate in life. With simple daily interventions and strategies crossing between all environments, these children heal, develop, find pride, become understood, and find connections. These strategies and successes are long-lasting.”

“I can't thank you enough for all your help and support through the program. It's been insightful, encouraging, and very, very helpful. We are grateful for the opportunity to have participated and to have learned, developed, and adapted so many of the wonderful strategies it presented. It's made a huge difference in both of our lives.”

Frequently Asked Questions

  • Why should I take this course?

    This course is for caregivers and residential staff who are looking to sharpen their skills in caring for children with difficult behaviors.

  • Will I receive a certificate of completion for the course?

    Yes! Every course comes with a certificate of completion that has been approved by the Arizona Department of Child Safety when the last lesson is reached. This certificate will have the learner's name, the title of the course, the credit hours, and the date of completion.

  • Can I watch the courses together with my spouse or do we each have to have our own log in?

    Just like our in-person courses, the pricing is based per participant. Each purchase should be logged under an individual’s name, and only that name will be tied to the proof of participation.

  • What is the format of the course content?

    Each of the courses are made up of a variety of modules with lessons within each. These lessons are made up of short videos to watch. Learners must complete the video before they can advance to the next lesson. There is also a variety of “process questions” throughout each lesson to help learners apply lessons from the videos. Each learner must also complete a final assessment quiz to receive a certificate.

  • Can I interact with other people/instructors in the course?

    Yes! Each lesson has a forum where learners can either post or answer a question for discussion to keep the learning going.
