2006 CCIP National Training
Institute Schedule
CCIP
National Training Institutes are the only certificated training
opportunities available for practitioners working with children of criminal
offenders and their families.
In
1991, the Center for Children of Incarcerated Parents 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.
The CCIP Training
Institutes are another way to disseminate the information and expertise we
have developed to the field. Our first Institute, “Mommy, Baby & Me:
Working in Mother-Child Correctional Programs” was offered in October,
2001. We are pleased to offer additional Institutes that focus on a
developmental approach to practice with criminal offenders and their
children. We invite you to join us in this exciting new work in 2006.
