What was your overall impression of the activity? What went well? What could have been improved?

​

• Something I really enjoyed is how Maricella used real life examples to help us understand how/when to use CPP. 

• The breakout groups were helpful to talk through cases using the CPP model

• The overall training was very educational. The presenter is very informative and knowledgeable on the subject matter.  She presents in a way that keeps the audience interested in the content which is important given the length of the training. I particularly enjoyed the breakout activities as it encouraged us to actively participate and apply the material we were learning.  Areas of improvement would be a more interactive exercises. Applying this theory can be intimidating even though the presenter did a good job at providing feedback.  

• I thought the information was very helpful, especially in feeling grounded about addressing trauma in the family.

• I feel that I learned enough to get started as I have some background knowledge with CPP.  I have concerns that others without a background in working with this group may feel lost on the application of CPP.

• The course contributed greatly to my knowledge of interventions which can be implemented with children/families. The role plays supported my confidence in applying learned skills. No identified areas for improvement.

​What did you learn that was new or different? How and/or will this information change the way you practice? 

​

• One thing that was different is how we can use the toys in the play room. I will be more mindful to include more toys that can support understanding the trauma narrative

• I learned how to create the CPP triangle and use the triangle to introduce treatment to the child. I learned about how to select specific toys to use during treatment and how to reframe a child's behavior based on their trauma history and to help caregivers understand the reasoning behind their behaviors

• CPP is a very different approach to my work with children and behaviors. ABA or Behavior modification approaches don't typically take trauma into consideration when working to minimize behavioral challenges. I am looking forward to incorporating this trauma informed way or working with patients but also helping the parents reconnect and develop compassion for their children while doing their own trauma work

• The structure of the narrative helped me in how I would assist families. It is difficult for families to figure out what to say, so the structure is great to use.

• I learned about formal trauma assessments for parent and child.  I learned about addressing the trauma from the start, not shying away from it.  

• The concepts of Angels/Ghosts in the Nursery expanded my knowledge re: impact of generational trauma. In learning CPP tools, I learned how to engage children/caregivers in treatment more sensitively taking into account the parent's trauma.
