CCIP Training

The Center for Children of Incarcerated Parents offers training to professionals and the public through three different mechanisms.

CCIP National Training Institutes

When CCIP opened in 1989, we began by developing our program, conducting empirical research and delivering services but soon discovered three important things:

Although we receive dozens of requests for help from clients every day, we were also receiving an almost equal number of requests for assistance from other agencies and professionals in the field.

Agencies wanted help understanding and applying historical and current research findings on children of criminal offenders & their families.

And, those who employed and supervised practitioners wanted assistance in developing appropriate practices and appropriate staff for work with this population.

In 1991, as a result of these discoveries, CCIP began a program of technical assistance to the field.  We currently work with 50-75 agencies per year, providing training, research and documentation, program design and development, evaluation and other types of technical assistance services.  However, not everyone who wants training is affiliated with an agency and many agencies cannot afford general staff training.

The CCIP Training Institutes are a way to disseminate the information and expertise we have developed to a larger number of agencies and individuals than we could otherwise serve.  Our first Institute, “Mommy, Baby & Me: Working in Mother-Child Correctional Programs” was offered in October, 2001.  Each year, we offer 4-6 Institutes on a variety of topics.   We are pleased to offer Institutes that focus on a developmental approach to practice with criminal offenders and their children.
