Coping Cat – Group is a cognitive-behavioral approach designed to treat children ages 7–13 who are diagnosed with an anxiety disorder (e.g., generalized anxiety disorder, social phobia, separation anxiety disorder) and their parents. Treatment is divided into two parts with nine group sessions each. During the first nine sessions, the therapist teaches children how to recognize anxious feelings and thoughts, use strategies to manage their anxiety, and reward themselves for facing the anxiety. During the last nine sessions, children complete tasks designed to expose them to anxiety provoking situations based on their specific anxieties. Exposure starts with tasks that are less anxiety provoking and increases gradually to tasks that are more and more anxiety provoking. Initial tasks are completed as a group before transitioning to individually completed tasks in later sessions. In between sessions, children complete exercises to aid in skill development. The therapist meets separately with parents twice during treatment.
Effective Black Parenting Program (EBPP) is a group-based parent skills training program designed to serve Black and African American families. EBPP aims to promote family pride and cohesion and to help families cope with the negative effects of racism. In the first session, instructors introduce a framework called the Pyramid of Success for Black Children to help parents set goals for their children and identify what their children need to reach those goals. The remaining sessions teach parenting skills and educate parents on how children learn and develop. Skills taught include setting family rules, using positive consequences to reward respectful and desirable child behavior, and using corrective consequences to address disrespectful and undesirable child behavior. The program also addresses the topics of drug use, single parenting, and child abuse. After each session, parents are provided with home activities to practice the skills taught during the session.
