Description

CPC-CBT is a structured evidence-based treatment (EBT) for children ages 3-17 and their parents (or caregivers) in families where parents engage in a continuum of coercive parenting strategies. CPC-CBT is designed not only for families where physical abuse has been substantiated, but also as preventative with cases where families are considered at-risk of physical abuse occurring. At-risk may be defined as those families who have had multiple referrals to CPS with no substantiation, as well as those families who report using excessive physical punishment and coercive parenting strategies with their children. It may also include parents who experience high levels of stress, perceive their children’s behavior as extremely challenging, and fear they are going to lose their temper with their children.
