Child and Parent Resource Institute

What Child and Parent Resource Institute does

The Child and Parent Resource Institute (CPRI) is a trauma-informed, highly-specialized assessment, treatment, and targeted intervention service provider for children and youth from birth to age 18 with complex combinations of developmental disabilities, autism spectrum disorder, and severe behavioural, emotional, and mental health challenges. CPRI is directly operated by the Government of Ontario under the Ministry of Children, Community and Social Services and is described as the province's only directly government-operated specialized centre for this population. The service portfolio spans 14 specialized programs, including outpatient interdisciplinary assessment and consultation, short-term goal-specific inpatient services, the Attachment Consultation and Education Service (ACES), The Brake Shop (for tic and disinhibition disorders), the Dual Diagnosis Behaviour & Anxiety Clinic, Interdisciplinary Autism Services, Mood & Anxiety Clinic, Pratten 1 Complex Care (for medically fragile/technology-dependent children), the Sexual Behaviours Team, Tertiary Medical Consultation Services, Homeshare, and the Home Visiting Program for Infants (HVPI). Supporting functions include trauma-informed care, professional and family education and training, and an applied research and innovation program that produced the interRAI Child and Youth Mental Health Suite Implementation Toolkit.

Services are delivered at CPRI's 600 Sanatorium Road facility in London, Ontario, supplemented by province-wide virtual and community-based delivery in homes, schools, and child welfare agencies. Access is structured: inpatient services and most outpatient services must be referred through the local Single Point Access agency, and physician-signed referral forms are required. All services are voluntary, require informed consent, and are provided at no cost to families. The core technology is an interdisciplinary clinical model rather than a software platform; the interRAI toolkit is a self-guided implementation framework containing implementation science, change management guidance, and practical resources for planning.

CPRI's business model is entirely government-funded managed-service delivery with no commercial revenue, no published pricing, and no disclosed financials. The 41 disclosed employees support clinical operations across the full program portfolio, with a parallel Volunteer Organization of CPRI (VOCPRI) registered charity supplementing government appropriations through fundraising for equipment, special projects, education, and research. CPRI is accredited by Accreditation Canada (affiliated with the Health Standards Organization) and achieved Accredited with Exemplary Standing in its May 2025 cycle. End customers are Ontario children and youth with complex special needs and their families; the de facto commercial counterparty is the Ontario government as sole funder.
