Parent Support Program
The UCEBT Parenting Program provides support for parents in conjunction with their child’s individual treatment or as a stand-alone support. At some point in parenting, all parents will experience unique challenges with their child. Depending on our child’s temperament, stage of development, and our child’s experiences, these challenges may show up as problematic behaviors (e.g., feeling down, acting out, refusing to go to school, excessing arguing, isolating). These behaviors can be unexpected and even very different from other children in the same family. At times, these behaviors can persist and cause problems for the whole family, despite our best efforts. In fact, sometimes our best efforts (e.g., taking things away, giving extra leeway), can lead to even more problematic behaviors and a sense of hopelessness or frustration in ourselves as parents. Fortunately, involving parents in the treatment process has consistently been shown to successfully reduce these behaviors, in fact, more successfully than individual treatment for the child or adolescent alone. These treatments allow the parents to gain emotional support and the tools they need to manage their child’s behavior.
Therapists at UCEBT are compassionate about, and committed to, providing this support for parents so that they can more quickly reduce children’s problem behaviors and regain their healthy and happy family relationships.
Therapists in this program are trained in evidence based treatments including:
Triple P (Positive Parenting Program)
Incredible Years Training Series
Family Systems Therapy
Dialectical Behavior Therapy
Parent Child Interaction Therapy (PCIT)
