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.

“Solo sufrimos, juntos sanamos.” “We suffer alone. We heal together.”

A beautiful interview conducted with Adalinda Sanchez, a member of our CPP community, and her colleague Ana Lewis from Change Inc. So helpful in the way that they are talking about the fear that too many children are experiencing, ways this may impact them, and developmentally appropriate ways that grown-ups can support them in making sense of their experiences and not being alone with their fear.

Therapists Ana Lewis and Adalinda Sanchez joined KARE 11 on Sunday to tell us more about the impact of Operation Metro Surge on mental health among children.
