We are pleased to share an upcoming opportunity for clinicians and agencies in New York and New Jersey: a virtual Child-Parent Psychotherapy (CPP) Learning Collaborative beginning September 24, 2026.

Led by CPP Trainer Dr. Ana M. Rodriguez, this 18-month Learning Collaborative will support clinicians as they learn and implement CPP in their work with young children and caregivers impacted by trauma, loss, and significant stress.

Through Learning Sessions, CPP consultation calls, and ongoing support, participants will join a community of professionals committed to strengthening healing relationships for children and families.

Applications are being accepted now. We welcome interested clinicians and agencies to learn more or request to join here:

The future of CPP in Nebraska is bright! ✨

Con profunda gratitud y emoción, celebramos la culminación de la Sesión de Aprendizaje 3 de la primera Comunidad de Aprendizaje de Psicoterapia de Niños y Padres (CPP) en español, implementada en Puerto Rico — un momento que marca el inicio de la fase final de este camino. Este grupo de terapeutas, mentoras y docentes puertorriqueñas de la Universidad Carlos Albizu y la Universidad de Puerto Rico son verdaderas pioneras — profesionales que abrieron camino al embarcarse en este proceso de descubrimiento personal y clínico, aprendiendo y desaprendiendo juntas con apertura, sabiduría y generosidad. Nos acercamos al cierre de este significativo ciclo con gratitud por lo aprendido, por las preguntas que quedaron abiertas, y por las semillas que este grupo ha sembrado — en ellas mismas, en las familias que acompañan, y en el campo de trabajo.

With deep gratitude, we celebrate the completion of Learning Session 3 of the first Spanish-language Child-Parent Psychotherapy — Psicoterapia de Niños y Padres (CPP) — Learning Collaborative, implemented in Puerto Rico — a moment that marks the beginning of the final phase of this journey. This group of Puerto Rican therapists, mentors, and educators from Universidad Carlos Albizu and the University of Puerto Rico are true trailblazers — professionals who opened a new path by embarking on this process of personal and clinical discovery, learning and unlearning together with openness, wisdom, and generosity. We approach the close of this significant cycle with gratitude for what has been learned, for the questions that remain open, and for the seeds this group has planted — in themselves, in the families they accompany, and in the field.

We love that new CPP clinicians are joining us from across New York City. Welcome to CPP!

🎉 Congratulations to the clinicians who have completed Learning Session 1 of our Child-Parent Psychotherapy (CPP) Learning Collaborative!

Child-Parent Psychotherapy is an evidence-based, relationship-focused treatment model that helps young children and their caregivers heal after trauma, strengthen attachment, and restore a sense of safety. As an implementation-level training, participating clinicians are already integrating CPP into their work with children and families.

We are proud to partner with agencies investing deeply in this work, including The Jewish Board, Violence Intervention Program (VIP), Hope For Youth, Emma L. Bowen Community Service Center (Upper Manhattan Mental Health Center), Stony Brook University Department of Psychiatry & Behavioral Health – Child Division, Health Solutions, JCCA, SCO Family of Services, Association to Benefit Children, Baystate Health – Family Advocacy Center, the PEACE Program at NewYork-Presbyterian / Columbia University Irving Medical Center, and Maimonides Medical Center – Pediatrics.
