Learning Collaborative
Focus On: Justice, Equity, Diversity & Inclusion (JEDI)
Announcing an amazing opportunity to become nationally rostered in Child-Parent Psychotherapy—an evidence-based intervention for young, traumatized children and their caregivers. We are currently inviting Vermont, New Hampshire and Massachusetts license-eligible clinicians to join our JEDI-focused CPP Learning Collaborative beginning March 2023. This unique Learning Collaborative (LC) will have a particular focus on developing in each of us the Justice, Equity, Diversity and Inclusion (JEDI) lens that is so central to best practice in learning and practicing Child Parent Psychotherapy.
The LC will be co-facilitated by:

A Child-Parent Psychotherapy Learning Collaborative (CPP LC) is an 18-month training that is intensive enough to allow most practitioners to adopt CPP. Trainees are required to attend 8 full days of training (conducted via Zoom) and to actively participate in twice monthly 1-hour reflective CPP case consultation.
The LC model was adapted from the National Child Traumatic Stress Network Learning Collaborative model. For more information, visit: https://childparentpsychotherapy.com/providers/training/lc/. Trainees who complete CPP LC will be eligible for at least 45 CEUs from NASW at the conclusion of the training sessions.
Fees: This training is fee-based training experience and the total cost per participant will depend on the number of participants sharing the cost of the training. The estimated cost for the training per participant is $4,000 for the 18-month training and consultation experience. The cost will NOT exceed that amount per participant, but could be smaller.
Key Dates: (these are REQUIRED—Make sure that ALL are reserved in your schedule)
