Training and Consultation

CWVP offers many training opportunities for agencies and providers who work with children affected by violence. Some examples of our trainings/consultations include:

  • Clinical Intervention with Children Affected by Domestic Violence and other Sources of Trauma: A one-day training that provides an introduction, overview, and intensive skills training on working with young children exposed to trauma. This training includes a specialized focus on the dynamics of domestic violence and its impact on children. Participants will learn about complex trauma, trauma symptom manifestation, assessment techniques for working with children exposed to trauma, and considerations for clinical treatment. 
  • Clinical Intervention with Caregivers Affected by Intergenerational Trauma: This is a one-day training that seeks to expand providers’ clinical knowledge and skills in working with caregivers who are affected by intergenerational trauma. This training explores the psychological impact of trauma that can be transmitted across generations and provides strategies for therapeutic intervention for families impacted by intergenerational trauma. 
  • Introduction to Child-Parent Psychotherapy: Clinical Intervention with Young Children Affected by Trauma and Domestic Violence: This two-day seminar provides an introduction to Child-Parent Psychotherapy, a dyadic, attachment-based intervention for young children exposed to interpersonal violence and other trauma, which has been empirically validated for use with children under age six. Across this seminar, participants will be exposed to the theoretical foundation of Child-Parent Psychotherapy. An overview of assessment protocols and the core clinical skills that guide clinical intervention will be provided. 
  • The Intersection of Trauma, Culture and Immigration: This one-day workshop provides an overview and analysis of the role of culture, language and immigration as risk and protective factors. This training reviews strategies for intervention with immigrant children and their families, with a particular emphasis on working with Latino families. Participants will consider the challenges in working cross-culturally, including working with clients whose first language is not English and working with an interpreter. 
  • Child-Parent Psychotherapy (CPP): Full-Implementation Training: This is an 18-month intensive learning collaborative offered to clinical groups (clinicians, supervisors, and senior administrative leaders) from mental health agencies. Across this rigorous training program, participants gain core knowledge about the implementation of Child-Parent Psychotherapy and practice the clinical competencies of the CPP model in their clinical work with families. Participating agencies will increase their capacity to provide evidence-based trauma treatment for children in the birth-to-six year age range.
