Child Parent Psychotherapy is a national, evidence-based, intensive therapy model. Clinicians trained in Child Parent Psychotherapy work with young children (birth through age five) and their parents in the context of family and cultural values, supporting family strengths and relationships, and helping families heal and grow after stressful experiences.
​
Florida State University's Center for Prevention and Early Intervention Policy is proud to offer Child Parent Psychotherapy training to Florida's mental health professionals, growing the workforce of clinicians using this model. In addition, the Center offers supports to these clinicians through webinars, trainings, and case consultations. These supports help strengthen skills, expand clinical expertise, and create a learning community.
