Training

Yes, you are eligible to apply for training if you come together with others to form a clinical team.

CPP training is more efficient and sustainable when participants go through the 18-month process as part of an agency team. Team members include clinicians, supervisors and senior leaders. Clinical team members, for which there must be at least three, must be master’s or doctoral-level with a degree in a mental health discipline and are eligible for the CPP provider roster upon completion of the training.

See this video for more information about the importance of teams.

The Learning Collaborative model is not considered intensive enough for students (e.g. practicum students nor interns) to learn the model. Students can only be trained by an implementation-level CPP Internship site. Students must be Masters or Doctoral students in their final year who would typically be ready for employment after graduation.

Students may be eligible to attend a Learning Collaborative for enrichment only (meaning you will not be eligible for the roster at the end of the training). Check with your local CPP LC trainer to see if this is an option in your area.

Unlicensed master’s and doctoral level staff are eligible for participation on the roster only if:

• There is a licensed agency staff member who supervises that team member and participates in the LC for the duration of the training, OR
• There is a licensed agency staff member who supervises that team member and participates in the LC for the duration of the training

For participation in a Learning Collaborative, participants must be a Master’s or doctoral level psychotherapist with a degree in a mental health discipline.

CPP participants must have a clinical mental health degree (i.e., one that qualifies you to provide therapy in your state or country). Check your local licensing boards for eligibility.

Prior to beginning CPP training, it is recommended that participants have some foundational knowledge in the following areas:

• Developmental Psychopathology & Diagnostic Frameworks
• Adult Development
• Early Childhood Development
• Trauma Theory and Sociocultural Influences on Functioning

Agencies are encouraged to work with CPP trainers to develop their workforce’s foundational knowledge before beginning CPP training.

Please see this page for information on how to Bring CPP to Your Community.
