<\/em><\/p>\nCPP\u2019s mission is to transform our nation\u2019s prisons, currently places of repetitive traumatization and isolation, into centers for healing and education. Based on the Norwegian correctional model, CPP\u2019s focus is on Adverse Childhood Experience (ACE) awareness and trauma-responsive training.<\/p>\n
Long after the fresh air endorphin glow wears off, participants can feel great about their efforts to support the most traumatized people in our society. All proceeds from the $10 registration fee and from monies raised by sponsoring friends and family goes directly toward supporting CPP\u2019s mission.<\/p>\n
Best known for its widely acclaimed short film \u201cStep Inside the Circle,\u201d CPP\u2019s goal for 2021 is to establish ten pilot prison programs across the U.S. These programs will highlight the proven healing modalities and professionally designed trauma curriculum CPP has developed for use by both prison residents as well as staff.<\/p>\n
CPP\u2019s advocacy work includes the newly launched Compassion in Action podcast which welcomes acclaimed experts in the field of trauma research including Dr. Gabor Mate\u2019, CDC ACE study Co-Founder Dr. Vincent Felitti and coming soon Dr. Bruce Perry and Dr. Bessel Van der Kolk.<\/p>\n
