LEARN Conference 2025 - Things I Wish I Had Known: Chandra Ghosh Ippen’s Reflections for Her Younger Self and the Field

Kick off day two of the 2025 LEARN Conference with an inspiring and deeply personal Practice Plenary from Dr. Chandra Ghosh Ippen—renowned early childhood trauma therapist, researcher, and co-developer of Child-Parent Psychotherapy. 

If you could go back in time, what wisdom would you share with your younger self to better support young children and families? What hard-earned lessons have shaped your work the most? Imagine having just one hour to distill decades of learnings. 

Join Dr. Ghosh Ippen on a powerful journey of reflection, where she will weave together key concepts from the National Child Traumatic Stress Network, the Infant and Early Childhood Mental Health (IECMH) field, and her own experiences from 30+ years as an early childhood trauma therapist. With warmth and candor, she will share lessons learned, challenges faced, and guidance that has stood the test of time. 

Don't miss this rare opportunity to gain relatable, practical takeaways from a leader whose work has transformed the field. Leave inspired, equipped with new perspectives, and ready to carry this model of reflection into your own LEARNing journey—and beyond.
