WHO
WHAT
Anyone, Anywhere.
CARE provides skill-building opportunities for health, social service, education, and advocacy professionals, as well as caregivers and nonprofessionals, 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 fast-paced 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, and exemplified in a series of activities, including presenter and video demonstrations, large-group activities, small group break-outs, and individual live feedback from presenters as participants practice skills.
KEY OBJECTIVES
-
Practice activity-based and child-led relationship enhancement methods.
