A sentence or two about the awesomeness of CARE. It's truly, truly awesome.
WELCOME TO THE iCARE COLLABORATIVE
​What is the iCARE Collaborative?
The International CARE (iCARE) Collaborative is a group of experts and all-around fun people who are excited to share the power of Child-Adult Relationship Enhancement (CARE) with others. Together, with the iCARE Community, we are committed to making the world's largest "Culture of CARE" for children and teens.

What is CARE?
CARE is an evidence-based universal approach to help any adult interacting with children or teens. It uses skills designed to enhance child-adult relationships and to reduce mild to moderate behavior problems. CARE is a trauma-informed training model for caregivers and professionals, paraprofessionals, and lay public who interact and work with children.
CARE workshops actively build skills through discussion, demonstration, practice, and live coaching---all within a fun and engaging learning environment!
