What is "Child-Parent Psychotherapy?"

Child-parent psychotherapy or CPP is therapy for young children from birth through age 5 and their parents/caregivers.  
  • Supports family strengths & relationships
  • Helps families heal and grow after stressful experiences
  • Respects family and cultural values

When CPP May Help:

  • Children have been through scary or painful events such as loss of a loved person, separation, serious medical procedures, abuse, or violence at home or in the community
  • Children show difficult behaviors
  • Children have a change in placement or caregivers
  • Family members have physical health or mental health difficulties
  • Caregivers would like help with parenting and improving their parent-child relationship
The New Hampshire Child-Parent Psychotherapy Provider Network is a collaborative network of Child-Parent Psychotherapy (CPP) providers, trainers, and advocates.  The NH CPP Network is housed by Center for Trauma-Responsive Practice Change which has been funded by the New Hampshire Children's Health Foundation, the State of NH DHHS Bureau of Children's Behavioral Health, and Connected Families NH.  The project is led by Cassie Yackley, Psy.D., PLLC. The aim of the network is to connect young children and their caregivers to evidence-based intervention that addresses early exposure to adversity and trauma.
Project NETT (NH Early Childhood Trauma Treatment) is made possible through collaboration between Center for Trauma-Responsive Practice Change and Lamphrey Health with funding through SAMSHA (FY22 Infant and Early Childhood Program. DHHS. SAMHSA. Center for Mental Health Services (1H79SM086447-01)) .
The aim of Project NETT is to improve outcomes for children (birth to six years) diagnosed with (or at significant risk of developing) a serious emotional disturbance (SED), including children with a history of in-utero exposure to substances that may impact development, and those from marginalized immigrant and BIPOC communities. Project NETT will develop, maintain, and enhance infant and early childhood mental health intervention and treatment services.
