Child-Parent Psychotherapy is an evidence based intervention designed for working with young children to support and strengthen the relationship between a child and caregiver. Goal is to restore the child’s sense of safety, attachment, and appropriate affect and improve the child’s cognitive, behavioral and social functioning.
The learning objectives:
1. Participants will understand the theory behind child-parent psychotherapy and understand why it is developmentally appropriate treatment for children under six.
2. Participants will be able to utilize assessment measures and CPP fidelity measures to learn more about adherence to the training and to measure change in the child as treatment progresses.
