Virtual Training Course - Child-Adult Relationship Enhancement (CARE™)

We are pleased to announce that the virtual training course - Child-Adult Relationship Enhancement (CARE™) will be conducted in August with the collaboration of the Network for Enhancing Wellness in Disaster-Affected Youth (NEW DAY).  

About CARE™ 
Child-Adult Relationship Enhancement (CARE™) is a trauma-informed, culturally sensitive set of skills based on several strong evidence-based parenting programs. CARE™ uses specific skills for general use by all adults who interact or work with children, including those who have experienced trauma. Respond with CARE™ skills are designed to a) connect with children in a positive way, b) increase compliance with adult instructions, and c) decrease many problematic behaviors and reactions commonly noted after exposure to disasters or crisis events. 

• CARE™ is appropriate for use for children ages 2-18. 
• Adapted for use across a variety of settings and populations. 
• Culturally informed and delivered in a flexible manner. 

Learning objectives:

• List 3 ways to improve relationships with children and teens, including how to improve behaviors in children and teens.
