Illinois Crisis Prevention Network

Illinois Crisis Prevention Network ICPN consists of multiple Support Services Teams (SST’s), who provide community-based support and consultation services to individuals with disabilities.

ICPN team members have been providing onsite learning opportunities since inception of the program. In 2015, a comprehensive learning program was initiated, named the Professional Development Initiate to benefit members of the community and provider agencies. Since this time, both members of ICPN as well as outside speakers have offered Professional Development Workshops throughout the state of Illinois. All topics are based on observed trends in the field in effort to provide support to staff and community members working with adults and children with challenging behaviors and/or medical difficulties.
