Training Catalog Schedule
Parent-Child Interaction Therapy (PCIT) is a short-term, specialized behavior management program designed for young children experiencing behavioral and/or emotional difficulties and their families. It is one of the strongest evidence-based treatments supported by over 30 years of research and practice by PCIT providers throughout the United States and internationally.
Target Population: Children with many difficult behaviors rarely outgrow them. Should negative behaviors continue or increase, these are likely to interfere with the children’s learning abilities and development of appropriate social skills, preventing them from reaching their full potential. Originally, PCIT was developed for children aged 2 to 7 with disruptive behaviors including ADHD, and their caregivers. PCIT has been successfully expanded for use with families of children who have a history of physical maltreatment, domestic violence, foster/adoptive care, parental substance abuse, developmental disabilities, anxiety disorders and/or reunification or adjustment difficulties. PCIT is effective with many cultures and ethnic groups. PCIT has recently been adapted for military families coping with deployment(s).
The PCIT Certification Preparation workshop is designed for anyone who has already received previous formal PCIT training and has successfully completed at least 2 PCIT cases to graduation. The purpose of the workshop is to allow participants to update skillsets to the latest practices for PCIT implementation including DPICS-IV coding, refresh/practice CDI and PDI coaching skills and to prepare for the PCIT Therapist Certification process. Therapists trained in PCIT before 2009 are encouraged to attend.
The Level 1 Trainer course is designed to prepare PCIT-International Certified Therapists to become PCIT Level 1 Trainers (L1T). This 8-hour workshop with 12 months of consultation is a required component per PCIT-International guidelines. Following this course, L1T trainers are qualified to teach and supervise therapists within the physical boundaries of their own program or agency.
This three-hour multidisciplinary workshop will explore how Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs) impact learning and long-life health and well-being in children, adolescents and adults. Presenters will review recent research on the impact of ACEs on development, social problems and a range of health problems. This workshop will also incorporate ideas for trauma-informed activities to incorporate with children.
Content appropriate for: health educators, physicians, psychologists, social workers and mental health professionals.
Child-Adult Relationship Enhancement (CARE) is a trauma-informed, field-initiated training developed by the Mayerson Center for general usage by non-clinical and clinical adults who interact with children with a history of trauma. CARE is not a therapy, but uses similar skills taught in Parent-Child Interaction Therapy and other evidence-based parenting programs.
CARE utilizes the “3 P skills” (Praise, Paraphrase and Point-Out Behavior) to connect with children, a set of techniques for giving children effective positive commands to increase compliance, and selective ignoring techniques to redirect problematic behaviors. CARE also contains a trauma education component to contextualize the use of these skills with the kinds of behaviors and problems exhibited by children with a history of trauma.
Target Population: CARE can be used with children of all ages and can be generalized to a wide variety of settings and implemented at different levels of intensity. CARE is supported by pragmatic evidence of its effectiveness.
The CARE Facilitator Training course is designed to prepare those who want to provide CARE workshops in various settings. This workshop with quarterly phone consultation is a required component to receive CARE training materials. Following this course, CARE facilitators are qualified to provide CARE training in any setting they deem useful.
