Question: I am interested in the CPP Training through the Center for Evidence to Practice, how do I apply?

Answer: Please visit our CPP Webpage for more details to access the CPP RFA, CPP Trainee Application, and CPP Agency Agreement. Only clinicians that submit BOTH a CPP Trainee Application & CPP Agency Agreement are eligible to be considered.

Question: What is the cost of the training?

Answer: The training itself is free, however we understand that it is a large time commitment. You cannot bill for hours while in training, which can be a cost for your agency, so please keep that in mind prior to applying.

Question: Is it possible to provide school-based mental health services, when school may not be in session as long as the treatment is needed? We service a few schools that are Pre-K and K only and we have the ability to bring in the caregiver.

Answer: Yes, you can provide this in a school-based setting as long as you can have the caregiver present during the necessary 16 dyad sessions. If you start too close to a time when the school year would end, you can transition them to an agency where they can continue receiving services.

Question: If an agency cannot send a supervisor, can therapist only apply?

Answer: If you are a clinician, you must have a supervisor who is participating or already CPP rostered. If that is not possible, we can have people who are single clinicians voluntarily join a peer-supervision consultation group. You must meet weekly or at minimum, bi-weekly for 18 months, as this is a requirement to become CPP rostered. The Center will work with those clinicians to organize and closely accommodate a meeting time that best works for everyone.

Question: I’m guessing that because we would not be fully trained/ certified during this process, it won’t be something the agency will be able to bill for?

Answer: Currently, there is nothing different in how clinicians bill for CPP, it is still just regular outpatient psychotherapy. At this time, there is no differential rate in how you will bill for a regular session with or without CPP.

Question: Is the CPP training model only for kids up to age 6?

Answer: Yes, CPP is for birth – 6 years as a developmental age. We know some children are delayed so you would go based on developmental age, not necessarily chronological age.
