Bring CPP to Your Community

Steps for Applying

We are delighted that you want to learn CPP and become a part of our community. We are dedicated to disseminating CPP so that more providers are able to support young children and families who have experienced stressful and traumatic events. Please review the following materials carefully to learn more about training options.

Review the CPP Learning Collaborative Process

Make sure that you and those who will participate in training understand the full LC process.

Assess Your Readiness for CPP

Can you provide CPP within your setting? Review our readiness tool.

Find LC Trainers

Review the trainer map & contact a trainer in your area if there is one.

Connect with Us
  1. Check for local trainers using the CPP Trainer roster.
  2. If there are no local trainers, let us know about your interest by completing our training request form.

We have seen that it takes concerted effort, support, and mentorship to be able to do this work. For this reason, our CPP learning process begins with an in-depth training that typically lasts 18-months and involves team learning and support. After the training is complete, the learning continues within your teams and in partnership with families. 

Given that implementing CPP involves a considerable commitment and investment on your part, on the part of your system, and on the part of trainers, before you begin a CPP training, please review our materials and think about your readiness to implement CPP and how to enhance those factors that appear to contribute to success.

How Trainings Are Organized

We are growing our capacity to provide trainings in CPP and to enhance sustainability for those who are trained. However, please be aware that given the intensity and length of training and the growing demand, we have limited capacity to provide training upon request.  Thus, it is critical that you ensure that a trainer is available to conduct training even as you apply for funding. We cannot ensure that a trainer will be available if advance arrangements have not been made.

CPP trainings are typically organized with large systems or agencies. 

Large Systems
  • Large system trainings are typically organized with the CPP Dissemination & Implementation Team after submitting an application
  • We identify a training team given:
    • Population-specific needs
    • Implementation goals
    • Timeline & location
    • We want to develop a plan that will lead to sustainable implementation of CPP within your system

Note: Examples of large systems include government, state, or county entities or  health insurance companies in charge of service provision.

Agencies
  • Agency trainings are typically organized with individual CPP trainers
  • Please feel free to view the CPP LC trainer map and contact the trainer in your area
  • If there is no trainer in your area, or if they are not available, please complete an application indicating this, and we will attempt to connect you to another trainer

Note: We typically want you to work with a trainer in you area as they will be a part of supporting you in developing a sustainability plan.

Individual Providers
  • We do not typically train individual providers in CPP as reflective CPP supervision is a core part of the model and team support is critical to doing CPP.
  • Individual providers who are a part of agencies with existing CPP teams may apply if:
    • Licensed or under the supervision of a CPP trained provider 
    • Able to participate in ongoing reflective CPP supervision or consultation within the agency
    • Individual providers, not part of an agency, can apply jointly as a team. We do not typically arrange trainings for individual providers, but if we have a training with openings, we will contact you.
