Parent Voices Study

Early childhood and infant mental health services are critical programs supporting very young children’s cognitive, social, and emotional development, and help give them an equitable start in life. The earlier families start engaging with these programs, the more successful the outcomes for infants and children.

But these in-person programs shifted online when the pandemic hit, heightening isolation and challenges. Researchers from Portland State, Georgetown, and UConn interviewed 100 families and program providers to understand how programs were able to keep families engaged + increase quality of care in the process. The new #ParentVoiceStudy is a rare opportunity to hear directly from families, and ultimately shares 10 recommendations to ensure that programs are reaching the families most in need of support.

Parent-Child Relationship Programs teaches and prepares instructors in the NCAST Parent-Child Interaction (PCI) scales. Instructors then return home and provide workshops/learning opportunities in their communities. For a list of instructors in your area, state/neighboring state, please check out this page for a list of PCI Instructors.

No. You must be enrolled in a course being offered by a certified NCAST Instructor to purchase the materials. You must be trained, deemed reliable in your observations and be entered in the NCAST PCI International Registry to use the scales.

If you are enrolled in a class with an instructor who is teaching both the Feeding and Teaching Scales, you will want to order a PCI Set. Even if you are taking the Feeding Scale course first and plan to complete the course with the Teaching Scale at a later date, it is more cost effective for you to order the set rather than the individual items. Please check with your instructor for specific information about which materials you need to order. Be sure to have the name of your instructor readily available when ordering.

Workshops in how to begin using Promoting First Relationships Curriculum are offered virtually several times per year. You are not required to take the course to utilize the program. However, most practitioners are very busy and find it difficult to make the time to learn a new curriculum by reading and processing on their own. The virtual course gives you instruction about the concepts and materials, including video examples, case studies, guidance and practice in using the curriculum. On-site/virtual training is available for 25 participants. Beyond the workshop, there is also a mentored distance learning option that practitioners can complete in order to become certified in this evidence-based model. Please contact pcrp@uw.edu for more information.

There is usually at least two virtual courses in Promoting Maternal Mental Health During Pregnancy offered per year. You are not required to take the course to purchase or use the materials with families. We find that many people who work with families are able to understand the broad scope of this program and ease of implementation through our virtual course. On-site training for your agency is available. Please check the Promoting Maternal Mental Health During Pregnancy page for more information about bringing this training to your community.
