ABOUT THIS EVENT
Child-Parent Psychotherapy (CPP) is one of the evidence-based therapeutic interventions delivered at P2P. CPP is aimed at improving the relationship between a child (typically aged 0-5) and their primary caregiver. It focuses on helping both the child and the caregiver cope with the impact of trauma, attachment issues, or stressful life experiences. CPP is grounded in attachment theory, developmental psychology, and psychoanalysis, and it integrates elements from these frameworks to address the emotional and psychological needs of the child and the caregiver.

The team of internationally endorsed Infant Mental Health Mentors® and Infant Mental Health Practitioners® at P2P will provide a broad brief overview of the P2P model and the different evidence-based interventions they deliver, including a focus on how CPP is used with families who have experienced trauma and early adversity with specific case material.

THE PRESENTERS
