We are grateful for this community, for all you stand for and for all you do. In a world with much pain and harm, it is beautiful to be in community with those dedicated to repair and healing. We wish you joy, nourishment, relaxation, and care.

If we could, it would be lovely to enjoy some pie together. Pictured is a dyadic octo-pie to symbolize all the dyads and families that you have all supported.

CPP honors the strength and rich traditions of indigenous families. We acknowledge and seek to repair traumatic experiences too many indigenous families have experienced, and we are grateful to be in partnership with many colleagues of indigenous heritage.

This week, many of us were at the ZERO TO THREE conference, sharing what we have learned through Child-Parent Psychotherapy. We hope more and more people learn about the impact of early childhood trauma and clearly see that we need to intervene early because we know that history is not destiny. There is so much that we can do together to support safety and repair.

If you were at the conference and took pictures, please message us and share them.
