Training in Dyadic Developmental Psychotherapy, Parenting and Practice will help you understand, work with and support children with developmental trauma and their families.


A wide range of training is offered on a regular basis by DDPI Worldwide certified Trainers, Consultants and Practitioners. In addition to DDP Level One and Level Two training, DDP PACE training and DDPI Worldwide endorsed parenting programmes are also informed by DDP principles, based on attachment, the impact of trauma and interpersonal neurobiology.
Training in DDP is relevant to all adults who work with, support or look after children who have experienced early-life trauma. This includes but is not limited to therapists, social workers, educationalists, adoptive and foster parents and residential caregivers.
DDP training starts with DDP Level One, our introductory course open to anyone with experience working with, or looking after, children with developmental trauma.
DDP Level Two is our advanced course open to people who have completed DDP Level One, and use DDP principles and interventions in day-to-day professional work.
Open all adults caring for, or working with children who have experienced relational trauma. DDP PACE training provides a thorough understanding and experience of PACE as a way of being, embedded within the DDP framework.
