146 | 6 Takeaways from "Filial Therapy Using Child Parent Relationship Therapy"

Play Therapy Podcast: A Master-Class in Child-Centered Play Therapy

In this episode of the Play Therapy Podcast, I continue the discussion into the child-centered filial approach within play therapy. I recently conducted a filial CEU course, and I want to share the insights I learned from participant feedback. I identified six key takeaways, offering valuable perspectives for integrating CPRT (Child-Centered Play Therapy) into practice. Highlights include the importance of vetting parents for suitability, clarifying that CPRT is distinct from couples counseling, and emphasizing the effectiveness of CPRT based on shared principles with CPT. I talk about the potential pitfalls of combining CCPT and CPRT simultaneously, the heightened impact of parent involvement, and the structured framework CPRT provides for empowering parents.

00:00:00,400 --> 00:00:04,300
You're listening to the Play Therapy Podcast with Dr. Brenna Hicks.

1
00:00:04,309 --> 00:00:08,109
Your source for centered and focused play therapy coaching.

2
00:00:08,489 --> 00:00:10,739
Hi, I'm Dr. Brenna Hicks, The Kid Counselor.

3
00:00:10,750 --> 00:00:14,449
This is the Play Therapy Podcast where you get a master class in child-centered,

4
00:00:14,460 --> 00:00:17,600
play therapy and practical support and application for

5
00:00:17,610 --> 00:00:19,659
your work with children and their families.

6
00:00:19,870 --> 00:00:22,709
In today's episode, we are continuing with the filial

7
00:00:23,209 --> 00:00:24,219
information,

8
00:00:24,719 --> 00:00:28,250
specifically the child-centered filial approach, which is the CPRT

9
00:00:28,709 --> 00:00:29,569
curriculum

10
00:00:29,729 --> 00:00:30,979
by Landreth and Bratton.

11
00:00:31,270 --> 00:00:35,099
And I actually had the privilege of just conducting

12
00:00:35,240 --> 00:00:37,080
a filial course through Core Wellness

13
00:00:37,290 --> 00:00:38,220
last week.

14
00:00:38,650 --> 00:00:42,939
And I received all of the evaluation feedback

15
00:00:43,250 --> 00:00:46,709
from those that participated and that were in that live training.

16
00:00:46,830 --> 00:00:48,950
And by the way, if you

17
00:00:49,209 --> 00:00:52,619
trained with me on Friday and you are also a podcast listener,

18
00:00:52,630 --> 00:00:54,590
I just want to let you know how appreciative I am

19
00:00:54,750 --> 00:00:58,069
and how grateful I am that you were able to be on the training with me.

20
00:00:58,409 --> 00:01:02,279
And I hope that as more of you continue on your CCPT

21
00:01:02,310 --> 00:01:07,430
journey that you will get some CEUs specifically in child-centered because

22
00:01:07,709 --> 00:01:11,480
we don't want to be down to the wire getting CEUs in junk that we don't care about,

23
00:01:11,489 --> 00:01:11,790
right?

24
00:01:11,800 --> 00:01:15,830
So if you were there. I'm so glad. Thanks for being a podcast listener too.

25
00:01:16,120 --> 00:01:18,639
And if you missed it, you can always go to Core Wellness'

26
00:01:18,779 --> 00:01:22,139
website and you can access the pre-recorded version.

27
00:01:22,319 --> 00:01:25,839
So it won't be considered live CEU but you can still

28
00:01:25,849 --> 00:01:29,220
get credit for it from their website on the pre-recorded option.

29
00:01:29,230 --> 00:01:30,470
So making you aware of that.

30
00:01:30,589 --> 00:01:31,029
But

31
00:01:31,160 --> 00:01:34,610
we got feedback from that and it was

32
00:01:34,620 --> 00:01:37,709
really interesting to hear the participants responses.

33
00:01:37,910 --> 00:01:41,449
And specifically one of the questions they were asked is what

34
00:01:41,459 --> 00:01:44,500
was the biggest thing that you learned or your biggest takeaway?

35
00:01:45,309 --> 00:01:47,750
And that gave me a lot of perspective and insight

36
00:01:47,760 --> 00:01:51,209
on what you all are looking for when it comes to

37
00:01:51,339 --> 00:01:55,129
learning more about the child-centered approach for filial.

38
00:01:55,599 --> 00:02:01,419
And I want to unpack what I kind of thematically coded all of the responses.

39
00:02:01,430 --> 00:02:07,120
If you don't remember your dissertation or your master's level stats classes,

40
00:02:07,510 --> 00:02:10,899
when you get a whole bunch of qualitative data, you have to code it into themes.

41
00:02:10,910 --> 00:02:13,779
So I thematically coded. I felt like I was back in grad school.

42
00:02:13,789 --> 00:02:15,740
I was like, oh man, I didn't think I'd ever do this again,

43
00:02:16,259 --> 00:02:20,220
but I pulled together all of the responses into six,

44
00:02:20,539 --> 00:02:22,240
what I consider to be

45
00:02:22,440 --> 00:02:23,750
summarized

46
00:02:23,990 --> 00:02:26,440
topics that people said that they benefited from.

47
00:02:26,539 --> 00:02:29,800
So I want to spend a little bit of time working through those with you because

48
00:02:30,259 --> 00:02:32,639
I think that speaks to what you all are looking

49
00:02:32,649 --> 00:02:36,589
for and what you want when you're trying to integrate CPRT

50
00:02:36,699 --> 00:02:41,059
into your CCPT practice. Oh my gosh. Say that fast five times. OK.

51
00:02:41,199 --> 00:02:41,919
So

52
00:02:42,240 --> 00:02:43,440
let's talk through this.

53
00:02:43,449 --> 00:02:47,039
So the first thing that the participants indicated was that they

54
00:02:47,050 --> 00:02:50,199
found it so helpful for the process of vetting parents.

55
00:02:51,229 --> 00:02:55,259
And that means a lot because we can't just

56
00:02:55,270 --> 00:02:59,630
dive in to offering filial without understanding that we should

57
00:03:00,679 --> 00:03:04,179
screen our parents, we should make sure that it's a good fit for them.

58
00:03:04,190 --> 00:03:06,070
We should set them up for success.

59
00:03:06,160 --> 00:03:10,199
We need to understand what personalities work best for

60
00:03:10,210 --> 00:03:14,339
filial and we can't just because we think,

61
00:03:14,350 --> 00:03:18,240
wow, you really need this, which, Lord help me, often, I think, oh my gosh,

62
00:03:18,250 --> 00:03:20,059
you need CPRT so badly,

63
00:03:20,850 --> 00:03:23,240
but it doesn't mean that they are a good candidate

64
00:03:23,250 --> 00:03:25,520
and it doesn't mean that they are the right fit.

65
00:03:26,059 --> 00:03:29,630
So vetting parents became something that a lot of people walked away

66
00:03:29,830 --> 00:03:31,710
and were really appreciative that they

67
00:03:31,830 --> 00:03:33,330
learned what that looks like.

68
00:03:33,520 --> 00:03:38,630
And while I can't get into all of the specifics of that, just as a general picture,

69
00:03:39,050 --> 00:03:41,839
you wanna make sure that they're going to be highly invested,

70
00:03:41,850 --> 00:03:45,589
you wanna make sure that they understand the amount of work that it's going to take.

71
00:03:46,419 --> 00:03:49,789
You have to make sure that they have the personality

72
00:03:49,910 --> 00:03:52,809
that's well suited for this kind of training.

73
00:03:53,009 --> 00:03:57,059
You either have to be really desperate for help or you have to be a high

74
00:03:57,169 --> 00:03:58,240
overachiever

75
00:03:58,880 --> 00:04:00,600
and those are really the only two categories of

76
00:04:00,610 --> 00:04:03,490
parents that work well with CPRT in my experience.

77
00:04:03,839 --> 00:04:04,449
So

78
00:04:04,600 --> 00:04:09,660
you want to kind of keep in mind that it's not just a one size fits all type of training.

79
00:04:09,710 --> 00:04:11,779
You really do have to be intentional about

80
00:04:11,789 --> 00:04:14,940
who you think would make sense to participate.

81
00:04:15,350 --> 00:04:16,579
Second takeaway

82
00:04:16,820 --> 00:04:20,339
was that CPRT is not couples counseling and

83
00:04:20,350 --> 00:04:22,690
that it serves a completely separate purpose.

84
00:04:23,529 --> 00:04:27,670
Very interesting because I guess because I've done CPRT my whole life.

85
00:04:27,679 --> 00:04:32,190
Well, that's, that's a lie since 2005. So 20 years, half my life.

86
00:04:32,529 --> 00:04:35,500
So it feels like my whole life, but only since 2005,

87
00:04:35,799 --> 00:04:39,260
I've been doing it so long. It has only ever been a

88
00:04:39,559 --> 00:04:42,950
parent coaching model for me. It has only ever been

89
00:04:43,170 --> 00:04:45,390
a child-centered play therapy based

90
00:04:46,160 --> 00:04:47,540
help for parents.

91
00:04:47,829 --> 00:04:50,260
But I suppose from the outside looking in,

92
00:04:50,269 --> 00:04:53,950
if you think of it as this is something that you offer to parents,

93
00:04:54,029 --> 00:04:57,100
maybe it could be confused with a couple's counseling approach.

94
00:04:57,350 --> 00:04:58,720
So I thought that was very interesting.

95
00:04:58,730 --> 00:05:01,700
And one of the things that we talked about in the training

96
00:05:01,940 --> 00:05:02,929
is that

97
00:05:03,149 --> 00:05:05,940
one of the things that you vet for is

98
00:05:06,869 --> 00:05:11,410
if the parents are in some kind of marital conflict, marital chaos,

99
00:05:11,799 --> 00:05:13,809
marital dispute, of any kind,

100
00:05:14,630 --> 00:05:18,890
that can be a huge barrier to facilitating CPRT easily

101
00:05:19,329 --> 00:05:23,089
because they will try to turn it into a couple's counseling session.

102
00:05:23,609 --> 00:05:26,910
So you're meeting with them and you're supposed to be going over CPRT content

103
00:05:27,100 --> 00:05:28,570
and they're arguing about.

104
00:05:29,070 --> 00:05:30,059
Lord knows what.

105
00:05:30,220 --> 00:05:34,179
And so that is something that you have to be pretty purposeful about

106
00:05:34,649 --> 00:05:38,500
is making sure that not only you stick to the curriculum and you

107
00:05:38,510 --> 00:05:43,369
redirect all of that marital dispute nonsense that sometimes you have to deal with

108
00:05:43,480 --> 00:05:44,929
when you're working with a couple.

109
00:05:45,170 --> 00:05:48,230
But also that you make sure that that's not

110
00:05:48,359 --> 00:05:51,130
the intention or that's not going to be the

111
00:05:51,440 --> 00:05:53,470
focus of your work with a couple.

112
00:05:53,600 --> 00:05:56,959
If all they do is fight and all they do is have marital issues

113
00:05:57,089 --> 00:05:58,880
and everything becomes a spat,

114
00:05:59,200 --> 00:06:04,299
they're probably not going to be a good fit for CPRT because the focus is the child,

115
00:06:04,309 --> 00:06:05,820
not their relationship

116
00:06:06,160 --> 00:06:09,660
and you have to be very upfront and blunt about that

117
00:06:09,880 --> 00:06:13,200
and redirect them back to the child over and over again.

118
00:06:13,209 --> 00:06:14,690
If you're dealing with a couple that

119
00:06:14,829 --> 00:06:18,140
is kind of in a state of disharmony in their marriage.

120
00:06:18,589 --> 00:06:19,540
Ok. Third

121
00:06:19,959 --> 00:06:21,540
take away for people

122
00:06:21,679 --> 00:06:23,739
is and I loved this, my gosh.

123
00:06:23,959 --> 00:06:26,209
So basically the summary was

124
00:06:26,510 --> 00:06:29,350
if you believe that CCPT works

125
00:06:30,109 --> 00:06:30,779
which

126
00:06:31,470 --> 00:06:34,279
Lord willing and the creek don't rise. So we all do, right.

127
00:06:34,519 --> 00:06:36,440
So CCPT works,

128
00:06:36,619 --> 00:06:38,799
we believe it, we know it, we trust it.

129
00:06:38,809 --> 00:06:41,420
There's data that supports that on and on right.

130
00:06:42,049 --> 00:06:42,750
Then

131
00:06:42,920 --> 00:06:46,109
we can also know that CPRT will work

132
00:06:46,399 --> 00:06:49,279
because it's the same exact principles.

133
00:06:49,519 --> 00:06:52,390
It's just extending that knowledge to parents.

134
00:06:52,540 --> 00:06:55,489
So that parents can start using the same skills that we use.

135
00:06:56,649 --> 00:07:03,750
So really cool takeaway that CCPT works and therefore, CPRT will work

136
00:07:04,119 --> 00:07:08,470
that just made me smile and it's true. I've seen CPRT work

137
00:07:08,640 --> 00:07:11,750
over and over and over again over the course of 20 years,

138
00:07:12,100 --> 00:07:14,480
just like I've seen child-centered play therapy work

139
00:07:14,489 --> 00:07:16,140
over and over again throughout the years.

140
00:07:16,299 --> 00:07:20,820
So there's no fear in offering this, that this is not going to be effective.

141
00:07:21,029 --> 00:07:24,940
It's absolutely effective because child-centered play therapy is effective

142
00:07:25,160 --> 00:07:28,880
and it's based on the exact same principles. So that was a really cool takeaway.

143
00:07:29,119 --> 00:07:30,390
Number four,

144
00:07:31,089 --> 00:07:34,750
you never want to give CCPT.

145
00:07:35,279 --> 00:07:37,720
In other words, as you're working with a child

146
00:07:38,190 --> 00:07:39,600
as a play therapist,

147
00:07:39,950 --> 00:07:44,170
you never want to offer that in conjunction with CPRT,

148
00:07:44,230 --> 00:07:48,609
where the parents then start doing play sessions with their children at home.

149
00:07:49,429 --> 00:07:52,529
And that was a really, that was a consistent takeaway.

150
00:07:52,540 --> 00:07:56,529
Many, many people acknowledge that in the feedback from the course.

151
00:07:57,029 --> 00:07:58,929
And we talked a lot about

152
00:07:59,230 --> 00:08:01,089
it's overwhelming for a child

153
00:08:01,700 --> 00:08:04,589
to do an hour play session with you each week

154
00:08:04,600 --> 00:08:06,709
and then a 30 minute play session with a parent.

155
00:08:07,500 --> 00:08:08,059
It's,

156
00:08:08,540 --> 00:08:11,829
and, and I'm air quoting because this is like a fake word, but it's over therapizing

157
00:08:12,089 --> 00:08:12,709
the child.

158
00:08:13,700 --> 00:08:17,239
So we definitely would never want to continue to work

159
00:08:17,250 --> 00:08:19,209
with a child if we started with play therapy.

160
00:08:19,220 --> 00:08:22,290
And then we realized that CPRT would be a better fit,

161
00:08:22,859 --> 00:08:27,950
we would transition out of play sessions and into the parent taking over.

162
00:08:28,410 --> 00:08:32,960
So then the parent begins play sessions when we stop sessions

163
00:08:33,169 --> 00:08:35,919
because it would be way too much for the child

164
00:08:35,929 --> 00:08:38,679
to have to do two play sessions each week.

165
00:08:39,880 --> 00:08:40,580
All right.

166
00:08:40,719 --> 00:08:42,099
Fifth takeaway,

167
00:08:43,058 --> 00:08:44,929
the apparent impact

168
00:08:46,030 --> 00:08:47,869
is so much greater

169
00:08:48,169 --> 00:08:51,890
and therefore parent involvement is that much more important.

170
00:08:52,510 --> 00:08:53,469
In other words,

171
00:08:53,570 --> 00:08:56,349
we know statistically and practically

172
00:08:56,460 --> 00:08:58,130
that when parents are involved,

173
00:08:58,140 --> 00:09:03,330
the outcomes of child-centered play therapy have greater outcomes and it's

174
00:09:03,659 --> 00:09:05,090
more effective.

175
00:09:05,729 --> 00:09:07,830
So to involve parents,

176
00:09:08,280 --> 00:09:10,729
there's a longer lasting impact,

177
00:09:10,739 --> 00:09:14,929
there's broader scope of change and healing that takes place.

178
00:09:15,049 --> 00:09:19,020
It influences the whole family dynamic, not just the one child,

179
00:09:19,409 --> 00:09:21,830
because it focuses on the relationship

180
00:09:22,140 --> 00:09:23,500
just like we do, right?

181
00:09:23,760 --> 00:09:26,590
It focuses on the relationship between the parent and the child.

182
00:09:26,599 --> 00:09:29,979
So therefore, everything is exponentially better

183
00:09:30,429 --> 00:09:33,330
and we have much greater impact and outcomes

184
00:09:33,340 --> 00:09:36,359
than therapists working exclusively with the child.

185
00:09:37,010 --> 00:09:37,599
So

186
00:09:37,780 --> 00:09:42,580
that's one of our main reasons why we would offer and suggest CPRT

187
00:09:43,330 --> 00:09:48,340
because we know that it is more effective to have a parent do it than for us to do it.

188
00:09:49,000 --> 00:09:53,349
And it's interesting, I've had therapists balk at that notion.

189
00:09:54,159 --> 00:09:55,070
And

190
00:09:55,640 --> 00:09:58,619
I think it's driven by the idea that,

191
00:09:58,750 --> 00:09:59,500
well,

192
00:09:59,799 --> 00:10:01,500
we are gonna be out of a job.

193
00:10:01,869 --> 00:10:06,059
If we just keep coaching parents to do this, if parents can do what we do,

194
00:10:06,190 --> 00:10:10,000
then you know, we won't have clients and we're basically

195
00:10:10,409 --> 00:10:12,609
making ourselves obsolete. If you will.

196
00:10:13,570 --> 00:10:15,159
First of all, I live

197
00:10:15,549 --> 00:10:17,469
and breathe by the abundance mindset.

198
00:10:17,479 --> 00:10:20,340
I believe that there is always enough in the world

199
00:10:20,349 --> 00:10:24,820
to support anything that needs to be provided or consumed.

200
00:10:25,020 --> 00:10:25,539
So

201
00:10:26,140 --> 00:10:26,919
if

202
00:10:27,130 --> 00:10:30,059
we are able to equip certain parents to do

203
00:10:30,070 --> 00:10:32,659
CCPT with their children through the CPRT model,

204
00:10:33,309 --> 00:10:36,320
that doesn't mean we won't have other children that will still come do play

205
00:10:36,330 --> 00:10:40,320
therapy with us because the parents are unwilling or unable to do CPRT.

206
00:10:40,869 --> 00:10:42,760
So I never have this fear that

207
00:10:43,179 --> 00:10:45,719
if I train a whole bunch of parents to do what I do,

208
00:10:45,729 --> 00:10:48,039
I won't have any parents that will bring their kids to me.

209
00:10:48,049 --> 00:10:50,919
I think abundance mindset says there's always enough for everyone.

210
00:10:51,609 --> 00:10:53,419
But I also think that

211
00:10:53,840 --> 00:10:57,390
we're not in competition with parents, we're in collaboration with parents.

212
00:10:58,109 --> 00:11:02,140
So the more we can get them involved, whether they're doing CPRT or not,

213
00:11:02,150 --> 00:11:05,940
even if we're working with their child, we still have to equip them with knowledge.

214
00:11:05,950 --> 00:11:10,780
We still have to psychoeducate, we still have to give them tips and skills and,

215
00:11:10,789 --> 00:11:14,510
and practical application tools so that they can support

216
00:11:14,520 --> 00:11:16,119
the work that we're doing in the playroom.

217
00:11:16,570 --> 00:11:19,429
They need to be involved as much as possible,

218
00:11:19,440 --> 00:11:23,710
whether that's just through consultations or whether that's through CPRT,

219
00:11:24,159 --> 00:11:25,309
we want them involved.

220
00:11:25,320 --> 00:11:28,640
And that was a big takeaway for the participants, which I was happy about that.

221
00:11:29,140 --> 00:11:30,349
And then finally,

222
00:11:30,719 --> 00:11:36,349
the final takeaway was that CPRT provided a structure and a framework

223
00:11:36,659 --> 00:11:37,869
for parents.

224
00:11:38,289 --> 00:11:39,830
And that's one of my favorite things about it.

225
00:11:39,840 --> 00:11:42,299
I actually talked about that in the training on Friday.

226
00:11:43,140 --> 00:11:46,650
I feel like many of the other parenting programs out there,

227
00:11:47,669 --> 00:11:49,609
they are skill based only

228
00:11:50,099 --> 00:11:54,809
and it's kind of hypothetical, topical situational.

229
00:11:55,179 --> 00:11:58,200
When your child does this, you do this and when this happens,

230
00:11:58,210 --> 00:11:59,809
here's your intervention and whatever,

231
00:12:00,210 --> 00:12:05,609
but there's no undergirding framework. There's no supporting structure

232
00:12:06,250 --> 00:12:10,440
that says you have something you can always fall back on

233
00:12:10,830 --> 00:12:12,869
no matter what the scenario is.

234
00:12:12,890 --> 00:12:19,049
You know exactly how to handle it because you have this basis of knowledge

235
00:12:19,820 --> 00:12:20,710
that then

236
00:12:20,849 --> 00:12:24,690
you go back to number one, the relationship is paramount.

237
00:12:24,789 --> 00:12:29,200
Number two, I have all of these rules of thumb that I've learned that help me with

238
00:12:29,349 --> 00:12:30,710
situational

239
00:12:31,200 --> 00:12:32,039
support.

240
00:12:32,210 --> 00:12:35,599
So when a child is drowning, it's not the time to teach them to swim.

241
00:12:35,929 --> 00:12:40,390
Sometimes you just have to be quiet when a child's really emotional.

242
00:12:40,799 --> 00:12:43,159
And if you can't say it in 10 words or less, don't say it.

243
00:12:43,169 --> 00:12:45,280
Sometimes we need to stop talking.

244
00:12:45,960 --> 00:12:47,049
Focus on the doughnut,

245
00:12:47,059 --> 00:12:51,390
not the hole. Who we have in the relationship with our child is

246
00:12:51,400 --> 00:12:54,260
far more important than what we wish were different about the child.

247
00:12:55,000 --> 00:12:59,150
So then you have all of those principles and foundational tenets

248
00:12:59,239 --> 00:13:01,239
and then you have the skills on top of it.

249
00:13:01,250 --> 00:13:05,250
So then we have the four pillars and then we have the way that we actually interact,

250
00:13:05,260 --> 00:13:07,140
the phrases and the skills and all of that.

251
00:13:07,150 --> 00:13:07,530
So,

252
00:13:07,840 --> 00:13:12,659
CPRT, in my opinion is effective because it provides

253
00:13:13,349 --> 00:13:18,830
some structure and some consistency for parents so that they are not always just

254
00:13:19,059 --> 00:13:23,099
throwing something out there in any given moment, hoping that it's going to work.

255
00:13:23,429 --> 00:13:25,429
There's no hodgepodge approach to this.

256
00:13:25,609 --> 00:13:28,239
CPRT is very curriculum driven

257
00:13:28,830 --> 00:13:34,450
and the content is drip fed on purpose so that what you learn at the beginning

258
00:13:34,669 --> 00:13:37,010
is built upon the further you go

259
00:13:37,200 --> 00:13:41,409
and then it all gels together and you have this really effective

260
00:13:41,510 --> 00:13:42,539
tool kit

261
00:13:42,849 --> 00:13:44,630
at your disposal as a parent

262
00:13:44,780 --> 00:13:49,729
that allows you to handle any situation with your child, not only currently,

263
00:13:50,150 --> 00:13:55,049
but for the rest of your parenting journey, even into adulthood with them,

264
00:13:55,869 --> 00:13:57,729
you never forget these skills.

265
00:13:57,739 --> 00:14:00,580
You never can get to a point where you don't need to use them anymore.

266
00:14:01,460 --> 00:14:05,799
So parents will have the long reaching impact of this as well

267
00:14:05,940 --> 00:14:08,530
so that they are always able to interact with

268
00:14:08,539 --> 00:14:11,599
their kids in a really effective and appropriate way.

269
00:14:12,570 --> 00:14:15,950
So huge. Thank you to everyone that attended the training and

270
00:14:16,059 --> 00:14:20,450
I'm hopeful that that is helpful to you as we're diving through this filial section

271
00:14:20,719 --> 00:14:22,150
as part of our curriculum.

272
00:14:22,429 --> 00:14:27,619
We really need to not only understand why it works and the value of it and all of that,

273
00:14:27,630 --> 00:14:30,450
but also things to consider.

274
00:14:30,460 --> 00:14:33,530
And I think these six that everyone walked away with

275
00:14:33,539 --> 00:14:37,559
were certainly very helpful for me to help you all with

276
00:14:37,780 --> 00:14:39,789
what you need to be considering if you're ready

277
00:14:39,799 --> 00:14:42,969
to offer CPRT as a service to your community.

278
00:14:43,880 --> 00:14:47,109
