Learn to Deliver
State-of-the-Art
Parenting Training Programs

Culturally-Relevent * Research-Based * Highly Successful

The Center offers intensive workshops in different cities throughout the United States that are designed to train people who work with parents to deliver state-of-the-art parenting skill building programs.

The complete programs are taught as multiple session classes which give parents time between class sessions to try out the skills at home and receive helpful encouragement and feedback on their use of the skills when they return to the next class session.

These programs have several common and unique features that make them particularly useful in multi-cultural communities.

There is the general program that has been used successfully with all groups of parents (Confident Parenting). There are two culturally-adapted versions of the program that have been embraced by thousands of African and Latino American parents (Effective Black Parenting and Los Niños Bien Educados).

Each program provides parents with a positive approach to child rearing and teaches a set of highly effective parenting skills. The culturally-adapted programs teach the skills in a manner that is consistent and supportive of cultural values and traditions, and includes additional skills and ideas that are culturally affirming.

Bring a Workshop to your Community
CICC has recently changed its policies and procedures for conducting parenting instructor workshops in different cities nationwide.

The emphasis now is on Collaborative Workshops where one or more local agencies, schools or government departments work with CICC in arranging instructor workshops in their area at times and locations that are best for the local group.

This means that if you are part of an agency, school or department that would like its staff trained to deliver a program, you can contact CICC to begin a discussion on how a workshop can be arranged.

Call CICC's toll free number 1-800-325-2422 and ask for the Training Department.

If you are an individual who is looking for a workshop for yourself, you can enroll now in one of the workshops that are listed below. Or you can also call CICC's Training Department for workshops that have been arranged after the latest posting of the upcoming workshops listed below.

We look forward to hearing from you!
