UWM researchers work hand in hand with practitioners at Children’s Hospital of Wisconsin to improve the lives of children and families by designing and implementing effective programs such as Parent-Child Interaction Therapy (PCIT) and Trauma Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT).
PCIT and TF-CBT are evidence-based interventions promoted by the Institute for Child and Family Well-Being that promote resilience, address the impact of trauma on children and help parents support their children.
This work is done through the Institute for Child and Family Well-Being, a collaboration between Children’s Hospital of Wisconsin and the Helen Bader School of Social Welfare.
