Are you serving children ages 2-7 in Durham?
Don’t miss this one-time opportunity to become rostered in PCIT with all training fees fully subsidized by the SAMHSA-funded READY Project.
Parent Child Interaction Therapy (PCIT) is an evidence-based, specialized behavior management program designed for families with young children (ages 2 ½ to 7) experiencing behavioral and/or emotional difficulties. PCIT teaches caregivers to manage their child’s behaviors through building a secure attachment and creating a positive discipline program.
Benefits include an increase in the child’s positive behaviors, generalization to siblings and to school, and decreased parenting stress. With over 350 scientific articles and book chapters on PCIT’s effectiveness, the Family First Services Prevention Act has identified PCIT as a recommended treatment for young children considered at-risk for family disruption or those in foster care.
