Criando con Amor Promoviendo Armonía y Superación - Enhanced (CAPAS- Enhanced)

Variety of Behavioral Health Settings

A culturally adapted version of GenerationPMTO (Parent Management Training Oregon).  CAPAS – Enhanced is a parent-training program for Latino immigrant parents (ages 30-40) whose children, ages 4-12, exhibit mild-to- moderate behavioral problems. The five primary goals of the program are to 1) promote parent–child positive involvement, 2) help children develop prosocial skills, 3) decrease children’s deviant behavior with effective discipline, 4) enhance parental supervision, and 5) help family members negotiate agreements (i.e., problem solving).
