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.

In many states, Medicaid funds mental health services for young children who have experienced trauma. Trauma can include medical trauma, disasters, and exposure to violence.

Our research shows that when children get relationship-based trauma-informed services, they show improvements in:
* Their mood
* Trauma symptoms
* Relationships
