Deep Roots, Bold Vision:
Charting the Path to Heal Early Childhood Trauma
Founded by Dr. Alicia F. Lieberman in 1996, the Child Trauma Research Program has spent three decades helping young children and their caregivers heal from trauma during the earliest and most vulnerable years of development. The program’s gold-standard treatment is nationally recognized as the best established approach to restore child health, strengthen families, and transform lives across generations.
Join us for an evening to honor CTRP’s extraordinary legacy and envision the next chapter as we continue to expand what is possible to help young children thrive in safe and protective families.
