Child Development Community Policing Partners

CD-CPP is a partnership between Mecklenburg County Area Mental Health Authority, Mecklenburg County Department of Social Services and the Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police Department to provide crisis intervention services to children who witness or are a victim of violence.  The primary aim of the program is to identify and treat these children to prevent a host of developmental problems, post-traumatic stress and fear resulting from exposure to violence at an early age.  Officers and social workers identify and visit affected families and children and work together to ensure treatment success and address parental or caregiver problems to help stabilize a household when necessary.  Yale University developed the program and it has been adapted in the district since 1999.  For more information on this program, please contact:
