The interview, which will be shared as an episode on CPP\u2019s podcast, Compassion in Action, delves into the concept of \u201cGetting to the Cortex\u201d while examining ACEs in society versus ACEs in prison.<\/p>\n
In CPP\u2019s research, using the CDC\/Kaiser Permanente ACEs study (Adverse Childhood Experiences), they discovered that childhood trauma is disproportionately high within the prison system. CPP is focused on bringing childhood trauma awareness and responsiveness training to prisons and communities both in the U.S. and globally. CPP\u2019s programs include a new six-part video series and corresponding workbooks titled Trauma Talks which shed light on the devastating impact of childhood trauma, while guiding prison residents and staff through various healing exercises.<\/p>\n
CPP\u2019s ultimate mission is to transform prisons into centers of healing and education so that the most traumatized members of our society can begin the process of healing, creating a lasting positive impact on families and communities. Dr. Perry\u2019s analysis of childhood trauma within prisons is at once insightful and thought-provoking, making this a noteworthy, groundbreaking exchange.<\/p>\n
