| Description |
Child Adult Relationship Enhancement (CARE) is a trauma-informed training model for caregivers and professionals who interact and work with children. Originally developed at the Trauma Treatment Training Center at Cincinnati Children's Hospital Medical Center, CARE uses evidence-based interaction skills drawn from research-supported parenting programs to improve relationships with and resilience for children in a variety of settings, such as residential treatment centers, foster care agencies and caregivers, transitional living programs, medical care settings, and the community. CARE was created for general usage by clinical and nonclinical adults who work with traumatized children. However, CARE training is applicable to a wide range of populations and is appropriate for use anywhere and by anyone who interacts with children. This workshop actively builds skills to use directly with child patients and their families through discussion, demonstration, practice, and live coaching.
Course Objectives:
1) Participants will practice/perform play-based and child-led relationship enhancement methods.
2) Participants will utilize strategies for decreasing children's negative behavior.
3) Participants will increase relationship-building techniques through active skill-building.
4) Participants will identify strengths and challenges of using CARE skills.
