Parenting Through Change (PTC; GenerationPMTO Group)

Group parenting intervention for parents of children/adolescents, ages 2-18 at risk for or presenting with behavior problems, including oppositional defiant and conduct problems and associated challenges such as attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) symptoms, delinquency, substance use, depression, academic problems, and deviant peer association. Weekly parent group sessions introduce a set of core parenting practices (e.g., skill encouragement, limit setting, monitoring, problem solving, and positive involvement) and supporting practices (e.g., active communication, emotion regulation, and academic promotion). Group facilitators use active teaching skills (e.g., role play, problem solving, and relevant experiential activities) to introduce and practice skills. Parent groups, which are designed for prevention and clinically referred samples, are available in 10, 12, and 14 session formats
