Mission: CPP’s mission is to create trauma-informed prisons and communities by addressing childhood trauma and its lasting effects on people living and working in correctional settings. Over time, our work has expanded beyond prisons to include reentry programs, shelters, and underserved communities where unhealed trauma continues to shape lives. We bring awareness, education, and healing to the people and places most affected by cycles of neglect, punishment, and systemic disconnection, across the United States and globally.
Our mission also centers the experiences of historically marginalized communities, particularly Black, Brown, Indigenous, and low-income families, who are disproportionately impacted by both trauma and incarceration. CPP works to dismantle these systemic inequities by advancing healing justice on both individual and structural levels.
