The Central Missouri- Child Trauma Initiative (CM-CTI), funded by the National Child Traumatic Stress Network (NCTSN), will host a free 18-month long Child-Parent Psychotherapy (CPP) Learning Collaborative in July (July 17, 18, 19, 20 and 21st from 9am-1pm (CST) by Zoom). CPP is an evidenced-based treatment for children ages 0-6 who have experienced traumatic events and/or are experiencing mental health, attachment, and/or behavioral problems. The CPP training will be led by Dr. Vilma Reyes, from the CPP developers at University of California- San Francisco
Applications are due Friday, May 19th.
Key Training Eligibility:
- CM-CTI typically trains agency teams rather than individual therapists as they believe that working with young children who have experienced trauma requires the support of a team. However, solo practitioners are welcome to apply, as they may combine individual trainees into teams to support one another.
- All clinical team members seeking to complete training and be eligible for the CPP roster must be master’s or doctoral-level therapists with a degree in a mental health discipline and be fully or provisionally licensed.
- If any participating team members are provisionally licensed, they must be supervised by a fully licensed team member who also participates in the training.
Please have one person from your team (usually the supervisor) complete the Readiness to Implement survey for the whole team/agency. CM-CTI welcomes applications from solo practitioners. Please contact Rachel or Vicki if you have any questions.
