MENTAL HEALTH AND TRAUMA-FOCUSED CLINICAL TRAINING
Trauma, Domestic Violence, and Immigration Present Unique Challenges
The mental health needs of families with young children who have experienced trauma, domestic violence, and immigration carry high levels of complexity. That’s why Erikson’s experts help train licensed or license-eligible providers of mental health in child-parent psychotherapy (CPP) for agencies and in supporting the needs of immigrant families.
Whether you are a clinical social worker, mental health counselor, family therapist or psychologist, you will gain new skills and knowledge that you can apply directly into your practice. Our tools and resources help protect the wellbeing of frontline workers while improving best practices for mental health clinicians.
Child-Parent Psychotherapy (CPP) Helps Caregivers and Young Children
Evidence-based treatment for those who have experienced trauma.
Erikson’s Illinois Child-parent Psychotherapy Learning Collaborative focuses on the use of the child-parent relationship to reduce symptoms of trauma, promote child development, and identify how parents’ early life experiences may impact their interactions with and expectations of their children from birth to age 5.
The CPP learning collaborative brings together clinicians and supervisors to complete training as a team and provide support to one another by identifying how to improve practice and systems in a supportive, peer context. Upon completion, participants can embed CPP practice throughout their agency, deepening the ability to provide therapeutic services and help families recover after stressful and traumatic events.
