PCIT Training Implementation Project (PI: Melanie Nelson)
OUHSC and the Oklahoma Department of Mental Health and Substance Abuse Services (ODMHSAS) [AND…] are partnering to improve the quality and quantity of psychological services available to children and families in Oklahoma.  The overarching goal of this specific project is to providing specialized training to child mental health practitioners in the use of evidence-based treatments for children traumatized by such experiences as abuse and family violence. Selected Oklahoma community mental health centers will serve as sites for this program. Oklahoma community mental health providers will receive intensive PCIT training (total: 7 days) conducted at OUHSC by OUHSC Faculty.  The first training (5 days) will focus on factors associated with the integration of PCIT into community mental health programs and on the development of skills specific to part one of PCIT - Client Directed Interaction (CDI). The second training (2 days conducted 3-4 months following the 5-day training) is dedicated to the development of skills specific to part two of PCIT - Parent Directed Interaction (PDI). This intensive training will be followed by either Remote Live or Phone Case Consultation, depending on site. Agencies will receive a total of 11 months of PCIT consultation. Each site will receive five months of Remote Live Consultation (RLC) and six months of phone consultation (PC). Client-level outcome data will be collected and analyzed for group differences.
