Child-Parent Psychotherapy: Learning Collaborative Training for Louisiana Medicaid Providers Serving Children and Families

The CPP Training is an 18-month Learning Collaborative. 30 Louisiana Medicaid behavioral health professionals (clinicians, supervisors, and administrators) will be selected to participate. They will sign a training agreement with the Center for Evidence to Practice, stating that they are committed to completing the entirety of the training. As this is a long, ongoing training, CEU Certificates will be awarded following each Learning Session.

Training components include:

1. Participate in initial core CPP didactic training - 3 days
2. Read the CPP manual (see training materials below)
3. Provide CPP to children under age 6 who have experienced at least one trauma (see Training Agreement for specific details)
4. Participate in reflective CPP supervision
5. Participate in ongoing CPP consult calls - twice-monthly phone or video-based consultation for 18 months conducted by an endorsed CPP consultant
6. Case presentation - prepare and present at least twice on consult calls
7. Participation in intensive CPP competency building workshops (2 days each, approximately 6 months and 12 months after the initial didactic training)
8. Fidelity monitoring - completion of CPP fidelity instruments and LC evaluation tools
9. Any additional learning collaborative metrics needed for this training.

Optional components for some CPP trainings include:

• Supervisor call to discuss CPP supervision
• Calls with senior leaders to discuss CPP implementation issues. Senior leaders are those individuals within an organization with the capacity to effect agency-level changes that may be needed to align agency and CPP practices and policies.

This training, sponsored by the LSUHSC Center for Evidence to Practice, will allow Louisiana behavioral health practitioners (licensed, Masters-level, and Medicaid-serving), to become trained and certified in Child-Parent Psychotherapy. Thank you for your interest in evidence-based treatment, however, the participating agencies have already been selected for the October 2019 training.
