Child Parent Relationship Training (CPRT)

Are you feeling disconnected from your son or daughter?  Do you desperately want to know and understand your child but aren’t sure what to do or where to start?  Are you in a place where trust between you and your child is missing and needs to be built?  If this describes what your family is currently facing, we’re here to help.

Child Parent Relationship Training (CPRT) is designed to help you understand developmental concepts, therapeutic techniques, and learn practical skills to help you connect with your child at home.  At Known Counseling, we offer CPRT specifically for parents with children between the ages of 3-8, in a safe and supportive small group setting.  You will be guided through a 10-week curriculum with other parents in similar circumstances, and be provided with hands-on, focused training from a licensed professional.  Not only will you learn child-centered play therapy skills to implement at home, you will also have the opportunity for specific feedback and guidance by videoing your progress at home.  By the end of the training, our goal is for you to have the skills and confidence you need to create a new foundation for a strengthened relationship.

Disconnection between parents and children can fracture families.  However, it can be a more common experience than you think, especially for families with fostered or adopted children, and parents with children who have a mental diagnosis.  We believe that behavioral and attachment concerns in any family can be alleviated in the context of a strengthened relationship between parents and children.  Unfortunately, it is hard to know where to start.  We are here to help!  We want to come alongside you, understand what you are facing at home, and teach you the knowledge and skills in a supportive space to help you move forward.

You are not alone!  Whatever your circumstances, we are here to help parents develop the joy and connection they have been seeking with their young children.  You don’t have to navigate the confusion and hopelessness alone any longer.
