Today, as we begin our partnership with the 7th cohort of CPP clinicians in Australia, we honor Dr. Julie Stone.

Julie was the FIRST international ZERO TO THREE Fellow, and she is the FIRST international recipient of ZERO TO THREE's Lifetime Achievement Award. As her colleague Emma Toone wrote, "Julie is a gifted and selfless clinician, supervisor, teacher and advocate who has dedicated herself to bettering the lives of babies, families and the professionals supporting them in metropolitan and rural Australia and internationally."

Her work has spanned communities, continents, and hearts. She worked behind the scenes to bring CPP to Australia. Now, in part due to her efforts, there are 150 CPP therapists and today 27 more will join us. Please join us in listening to her speech and in celebrating her. Julie, you make our hearts sparkle.

Congratulations to Dr. Julie Stone and Dr. Samuel Meisels the 2026 recipients of the Zero to Three Lifetime Achievement Award!!

Even if you do not understand Swedish, I encourage you to listen, and hold in your hearts how beautifully Anna Norlén from Ericastiftelsen is advocating on behalf of young children who have experienced family violence. We can hold hope in knowing that around the world we have such excellent colleagues and each day there are more and more of us doing this work and helping young children and their families heal from experiences of violence.

Tack så mycket, Anna!

Her er kull 5 da vi startet opp januar 2025 - nå er de nylig ferdige med utdanningen og vi har hatt to dagers vedlikeholdssamling i Bergen - takk for fine dager med dere! Vi er glade for å ha dere med i CPP-nettverket vårt.

Why are we all so excited?
Because for the first time we had a CPP track at the ZERO TO THREE Learn Conference.

Because we had a chance to be in community and go deep, a day-long CPP-focused Preinstitute, 14 sessions, over 50 pages of clinical notes, a deep dive into transformational play, hope in hard places, fidelity, and so much more.

So much gratitude to Dr. Katie Stone who so generously shared her work with us. We hold the family she partnered with in our hearts, and our hearts are full.

Will we do it again? Fingers crossed, that is our plan. Hope to see you at the Learn Conference in the future.

“Ana was an especially good facilitator — she read the room while covering important material. Well structured, genuinely interesting, and a chance to celebrate my colleagues.”

San Francisco cohort 12 completed the Intensive 18 month training! It was a great pleasure to reflect with, learn from and support these colleagues in developing in depth understanding of CPP in practice.

A beautiful way to share this important concept, helpful for adults and children.

Mahalo nui to the latest cohort of CPP therapists from Hawai'i and to AIMH-HI for all of your support and aloha.

We completed our 18-month cohort this week, and they put together a beautiful book about their CPP journey. I treasure each page and thought I would share a few of their words. A hui ho.
