CRPCI and St. Titus One M.B. Church Launch the CCDevVP Program!
The Child Rights and Protection Consultancy-International and Chicago’s St. Titus One Missionary Baptist Church are pleased to announce their partnership in launching the Community/Child Development and Violence Prevention Program (CCDevVP), a caregiver-child capacity development and family/community violence prevention program (November 2011 through June 2012!). CCDevVP is an integrated community program founded on the principles of the International Child Development Program (ICDP) (www.icdp.info), a child-centered program which strengthens families and communities, as well as on innovative community-development/violence prevention programming. Dr. Nicoletta Armstrong, PhD., Founder and Director of ICDP, will be arriving from London, UK, on Wednesday, Nov. 9th, for Phase1: Training at the St. Titus One Missionary Baptist Church in the West Pullman neighborhood of South Chicago (November 11-13).
Phase1 builds a psychosocial foundation for parents, child care givers, teachers, nurses, mental health professionals and social service providers, supporting their efforts to prevent and reduce
family and community violence by increasing empathy, attachment, and positive parenting
competencies through increased engagement in children’s development and protection.
CCDevVP Phase2 engages the community in a broader, holistic approach to strengthen Community-based violence prevention and develops community capacity by supporting local organizations and individuals, including parents and youth to engage in local child protection and peace-building. Over time, this program creates more empathic relationships within families and between community members, inspiring advocacy and community leadership in these areas, thus improving the opportunities for peaceful development and achievement for children, at-risk youth, and the broader community.
The church of St. Titus Missionary Baptist Church is committed to its members and community, serving its youth through mentorship and encouragement of educational endeavors, and fostering strong fellowships amongst young adults through various social activities and events.
You can learn more about St. Titus One on their web page www.sttitusone.com
The International Child Development Program (ICDP) focuses on healthy development of children by reactivating and encouraging caring, empathic relations between caregiver and child. ICDP works in a community–based way, mobilizing local people to affect at-risk youth in ways agencies and institutions cannot.
