CARE Workshops for Parents

Child-Adult Relationship Enhancement (CARE) Workshops

CARE Workshops were developed for parents and caregivers of youth ages 2-18 who have experienced stressful or traumatic events in their lives, children with behavior problems, or parents who want to strengthen the relationship with their child. Each CARE Workshop includes two parts. Workshops take place in one of the two following formats: two 1.5-hour virtual sessions, usually held two weeks apart, or one 4-hour in person session. Please note that we are unable to provide childcare.

Part I: Relationship Enhancement

Caregivers are taught skills to decrease negative behaviors while developing positive communication with their child.

Part II: Strategies for Compliance

Caregivers are taught elements of effective discipline and child management skills such as how to give good commands, when and how to use selective ignoring, and other discipline techniques to redirect problematic behavior.

These workshops are fun and interactive, completely free of charge, and for adults only (unfortunately, childcare is not provided at this time). CARE Workshops are offered throughout the year at different times and at a variety of locations in the Kansas City metro area.

R.S.V.P. is required, space is limited and we are unable to provide childcare. To register for a CARE workshop, please call (816) 855-1720 or Sign up here.
