Criando con Amor: Promoviendo Armonía y Superación – Jóvenes
Criando con Amor: Promoviendo Armonía y Superación – Jóvenes (CAPAS-Youth) is a group-based parenting and family functioning intervention adapted from GenerationPMTO – Group, also known as Parenting Through Change (PTC) and formerly known as Parent Management Training – Oregon Model (PMTO®). CAPAS-Youth is a culturally adapted intervention for Spanish-speaking Latino(a) families with children ages 12–15. Adaptations include: (1) Modifying core components of GenerationPMTO – Group for linguistic and cultural appropriateness, (2) Adapting session activities (e.g., role-play practice) to include culturally relevant expressions, and (3) Adding sessions focusing on racism, contextual adversity, discrimination, immigration, cultural conflicts, and adolescent drug use.
In the first session, CAPAS-Youth Group Leaders engage the treatment families, begin building a collaborative group, and introduce participants to the CAPAS-Youth model. In the following sessions, the Group Leaders teach parents skills such as: giving good directions, observing and regulating emotions, active listening and communication, teaching children through positive reinforcement (e.g., incentive charts), using discipline strategies, and effective supervision. Sessions weave in content on the experience of being a Latino immigrant parent, experiences of discrimination, and raising and communicating with bicultural children. One session explicitly focuses on drug use prevention. Skills are reinforced with home practice assignments. The intervention model emphasizes role playing as a teaching tool and using questions to promote learning.
