What is PC-CARE?
PC-CARE is a 6-week intervention designed to improve the quality of the caregiver-child relationship and to teach caregivers skills to help them identify and build up their children’s strengths and manage their children’s challenging behaviors.
In PC-CARE, providers teach and coach caregivers to increase their positive caregiving skills and to find the behavior management strategies that are most effective for their family.
Who is PC-CARE for?
Caregivers who:
– are interested in improving their relationship with their child and in learning new caregiving skills
– have had their child in their custody for a long or relatively short time (e.g. foster, adoptive, relative, reunited parent)
– are willing to spend five minutes in play/activity with their child daily.
Children who:
– are between the ages of about 1 and 10 years.
– may be disruptive, defiant, and/or aggressive at home and/or school.
– may have experienced a traumatic event that is impacting behaviors and/or relationships.
– may be adjusting to a new home (e.g., foster, reunification) or situation (e.g., parental separation, new sibling).
