Child Adult Relationship Enhancement (CARE) through Center for Child and Family Health NASP Domain 4

There are many reasons for children and teens to have difficulties in the classroom. These include 1) exposure to trauma or other stressful life events; 2) developmental challenges, such as problems in language processing, and 3) mental health concerns like Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder. When any of these issues are present, learning is affected and children’s and teens’ ability to meet their full potential is undermined. Child-Adult Relationship Enhancement (CARE™) is a trauma-informed, field-initiated set of skills based on evidence-based parenting programs. CARE uses specific skills designed for all adults who interact or work with children and teens. Adapted for use in the school and classroom settings, CARE utilizes a set of specific skills designed to a) connect with children and teens in a positive way to improve social-emotional development and learning potential, b) increase compliance, and c) decrease mild to moderate problematic behaviors. CARE has been successfully implemented by thousands of adults in a variety of settings, including classrooms, across the country. This workshop provides an overview of the CARE training that can be effectively implemented in a classroom setting.

Objectives:

By the conclusion of the presentation, participants will be able to:

1. Identify at least 2 reasons why use of CARE skills with children and teens may benefit those with a trauma history, learning difficulties, or other issues that impact learning. 2. List 3 ways to improve relationships with children and teens, including how to improve behaviors in children and teens in the school setting. 3. List at least 3 ways to improve instructions to increase compliance with directions. 4. Discuss how CARE skills can be implemented into the school setting.

Two CARE developers will co-facilitate a full day training for up to 120 attendees. The CARE training will inform participants of the components of CARE, identify strengths and challenges of using CARE skills, and allow for activities to create a more in depth understanding of the CARE model. Adult learning techniques will be used throughout the training.

Please note: attendees will not have adequate CARE training or skills to be able to implement a CARE program in their agency at the end of the workshop. If additional training is desired, they should contact Training Program Manager, Jackie Mroz, at jackie.mroz@duke.edu for more information.
