PRESENTATION DESCRIPTION
Summary of Topic
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. This workshop actively builds skills through discussion, demonstration, practice, and live coaching.
Who Should Attend
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 provider populations. These can include but are not limited to:
• nonclinical staff in residential treatment centers
• day care providers
• medical care students, residents, fellows, and providers
• graduate students in education, social work, and psychology
• foster parents
• foster care caseworkers and child protection workers
• prospective parents for international adoptions
• partial hospitalization staff
• social service case managers
• community support providers
• home visitation providers
• child victim advocates
• staff at domestic violence/women’s shelters
• staff at homeless shelters
• receptionists and other support staff who come in contact with children as part of their duties
Outline of Key Objectives
1. Practice play-based and child-led relationship enhancement methods.
2. Utilize strategies for decreasing children's negative behavior.
3. Increase relationship-building techniques through active skill-building.
4. Identify strengths and challenges of using CARE skills.
Description of Training Activities:
CARE provides skill-building opportunities for health, social service, education, and advocacy professionals working with children and families by teaching interactional skills that result in positive outcomes for children. By integrating didactic, multimedia, and experiential components throughout the workshop, participants are taught a set of specific, innovative, and evidence-based skills known to improve adult-child relationships. To promote collaboration among participants, techniques are discussed, practiced in dyads, and exemplified in a series of activities, including presenter and video demonstrations, large-group activities, small group break-outs, and individual coaching from presenters as participants practice skills. Participants will be encouraged to apply the skills learned to their specific practical setting.
