PC-CARE is a dyadic intervention that exposes the caregiver to strategies for enhancing the caregiver-child relationship and improving behavior management effectiveness. Caregivers can be biological parents, relatives and caregivers, resource parents, or anyone who is involved in caring for the child. Multiple caregivers and/or children can participate in the intervention using an adapted protocol. Siblings not participating in the intervention can still be present during sessions. Therapists briefly teach then coach caregivers while they play with the child, suggesting strategies to use, and pointing out which strategies seem most effective for them and their child. The child is involved in the treatment process as much as possible and appropriate. PC-CARE is a psychotherapeutic intervention that combines teaching and coaching about the way trauma exposure affects children’s mental health with cognitive behavioral and behavioral strategies for reducing children’s trauma-related symptoms.
