COMPASSION PRISON PROJECT

THE ORGANIZATION'S MISSION IS TO TRANSFORM PRISONS AND COMMUNITIES THROUGH COMPASSIONATE ACTION. OUR MAIN FOCUS IS ON CHILDHOOD TRAUMA AND HOW IT AFFECTS THE LIVES OF MEN AND WOMEN LIVING AND WORKING IN PRISONS. IN OUR RESEARCH, USING THE CDC/KAISER PERMANENTE ACES STUDY (ADVERSE CHILDHOOD EXPERIENCES), WE HAVE SEEN THAT ACES ARE DISPROPORTIONATELY HIGH WITHIN THE PRISON SYSTEM. AT CPP, WE ARE FOCUSED ON BRINGING CHILDHOOD TRAUMA AWARENESS, EDUCATION AND HEALING TO PRISONS AND COMMUNITIES BOTH IN THE U.S. AND GLOBALLY.
