The Parent-Child Care (PC-CARE) Training Center is part of the UC Davis Children’s Hospital Child and Adolescent Abuse Resource, Education (CAARE) Diagnostic and Treatment Center.
PC-CARE has been identified as a promising practice by the Prevention Services Clearing House and the California Evidence Based Clearinghouse.
The PC-CARE Training Center is a partner in the National Child Traumatic Stress Network (NCTSN) and is funded as a Translation and Adaptation (Category II) Center and as a Community Treatment and Service (Category III) Center.
The Center’s mission is to support positive caregiver-child relationships, reduce children’s mental health symptoms, and promote healing following stress and trauma through:
- Training providers in PC-CARE
- Increasing access to effective parenting interventions
- Disseminating evidence-based practices
The PC-CARE Training Center works with treatment providers and agencies around the world to enhance their practices. We also work directly with families through this Learning Center, resources on our website, and direct services.
