Type of Maltreatment: Emotional abuse and Physical abuse
Target Population: Parents of children (2-12 years old) who are experiencing behavior or emotional problems.
Brief Description:
The Confident Parenting: Survival Skill Training Program has been rated by the CEBC in the area of Prevention (Secondary). The Confident Parenting: Survival Skill Training Program uses a cognitive-behavioral orientation to train parents in using non-violent child management skills in their relationships with children. Parents are also encouraged to use such skills in relating to spouses and other adults. It was originally developed in the 1970s in child mental health settings and has become the program of choice in many other human service and educational settings since that time. The Confident Parenting: Survival Skill Training Program is the main parenting intervention provided by the staffs of various regional offices of the Los Angeles County Department of Children and Family Services. It is designed as a ten-session program to be used with small groups of parents. This way each parent can receive individualized consultation from the instructor on the home behavioral change projects that are assigned. A one-day seminar version of the program for large numbers of parents has recently been created.
