On-Demand Webinar Title: Parent Child Interaction Therapy: Evidence-Based Early Intervention for Parents and Children Webinar
Live Webinar Date: June 11, 2024
Duration: approximately 66 minutes
Moderator: Katie Jerstad, Senior Attorney, NDAA's Juvenile Justice Program
Presenter: Cheryl McNeil, Ph.D., Professor in the Department of Psychiatry at the University of Florida
Summary: This webinar will provides an in-depth look at Parent-Child Interaction Therapy (PCIT), an evidence-based, theoretically grounded therapy model to help parents remain confident, calm, and consistent in their approach to discipline while building secure attachments with their child. The presentation focuses on ways that PCIT can help parents who are struggling to address their child's problem behavior (including justice-involved families), reduce youth victimization (particularly physical abuse and neglect by caregivers), and keep children in their homes, in their communities, and out of system involvement. This webinar provides education about a form of therapy to assist struggling parents, prevent further harm to children, to intervene and respond to youth victimization, particularly physical abuse and neglect by caregivers, to keep children in their homes, in their communities and out of system involvement. This webinar continues to help professionals recognize this evidence-based opportunity for early intervention. This webinar highlights effective techniques for preventing harm to children, as well as intervene once it has occurred, to create safer communities and empower youth to lead productive lives.
Learning Objectives:
(1) Be able to describe what PCIT is, who it is designed for and how it is effective for reducing child maltreatment and improving child behavior problems associated with justice-involved families.
(2) Be able to describe what makes PCIT an evidence-based, strength-based and theoretically grounded form of early intervention.
(3) Be able to find PCIT therapists/resources in your respective community, and if there are not PCIT therapists in your community, learn how to assist in getting someone in your community certified in PCIT, and enhance capacity for referrals of parents to a PCIT therapist or practitioner.
