Masterclasses

Take your knowledge of parenting support to the next level!

Build on the learning and inspiration you’ll gain at the International Congress on Evidence-based Parenting by signing up for one or more of our post-event masterclasses. Hear from internationally renowned program developers who will share their clinical expertise in practical ways. They will offer opportunities to discuss and debate ideas, evidence, practices and strategies.

We have had interest in ‘meet the program developer’ master classes covering key program learnings and/or clinical skills. We envision these master classes as 80-90 minute presentations with time for audience live and/or pre-submitted questions to make up a 2 hour session. The aim is for master classes to be conducted live over videoconferencing and there are tools available for interactive engagement. We are pleased to offer you an honorarium of $300 USD for the master class or, if your institution does not permit an honorarium, or you prefer, you could choose to donate this to support registrations for delegates from emerging countries.

The masterclasses will be presented live online between 8 and 12 June, once only, in the time zone of the presenter. Prof. Matt Sanders will be presenting his masterclass twice so that he can reach more people in different zones.

Use the table below to find the time that suits you best. Places are limited so book now. Excellent value at US$65 (plus tax) per person. You don’t need to attend the Congress to attend a masterclass, and if you are already attending the Congress you can use the same login details to register for a masterclass.

Parents under Pressure
(PuP) Program

Presented by Professor Sharon Dawe and Associated Professor Paul Harnett

Parenting, emotional regulation and substance use: Investigating the process of change

Improving family functioning and child outcome in families with a multitude of problems – such as parental substance misuse, mental health problems, and parental childhood maltreatment – is essential if we are going to change an intergenerational pattern of adversity. This masterclass will provide an overview of the Parents under Pressure (PuP) program which was developed specifically for families facing multiple adversities. The two central tenets are a focus on parental emotion regulation and the enhancement of safe and nurturing caregiving relationships within the family. PuP has been delivered by over 400 nongovernment and government agencies in Australia and the UK. We will discuss the proposed mechanisms of change with examples from case material and analysis from empirical studies. Determining who may respond best to PuP (moderator analyses) and causal mechanisms drawing from the PuP program logic (mediator analyses) is essential for further development of the program and informs future tailoring of this and other interventions.

GenerationPMTO

Presented by Dr Marion S. Forgatch and Laura A. Rains

The art and science of GenerationPMTO: Engaging parents in the learning process

Clinicians who use active teaching and strong clinical skills have greater success as they help parents adopt new strategies. This master class in GenerationPMTO will introduce experienced clinicians to new tricks that engage parents in a fun, effective change process and enhance approaches to common struggles with client resistance. Participants will learn the 3-D role play technique, which helps parents gain new perspectives. This active teaching approach is integrated with problem solving and emotion regulation strategies. In-session practice enables parents to transfer these time-tested skills to real-life situations at home. We invite you to join us as you apply your strengths and add to your evidence-based repertoire.

Tuning in to Kids

Presented by Professor Sophie Havighurst

Tuning in to Kids: How does an emotion-focused parenting program work in different countries?

Tuning in to Kids is an emotion-focused parenting program that has been used with parents and carers of children from toddlers through to teens, in community and clinical settings. The program has also been adapted and used in many different countries where concepts of parenting and responding to emotions can be very different. In this masterclass, I will provide an initial introduction to Tuning in to Kids including some of the main components of the program. I will then outline some of the cultural issues that have emerged as the program has been adapted in different countries including interviews from those using the program around the world. This session will include opportunities for participants to explore their own questions about how to make a parenting program such as TIK fit to their culture or work setting.

Multisystemic Therapy (MST)(CANCELLED)

Presented by Professor Melisa Rowland and Brenda Szumski

Updates on the latest research and developments related to Multisystemic Therapy (MST)

This master class will provide a comprehensive update of the Multisystemic Therapy (MST) treatment model including a brief clinical overview, its current use in systems around the world, the latest MST-related research, and the status of MST adaptations for difficult-to-treat and high-risk populations involved in the juvenile justice, mental health and child welfare systems.

Triple P – Positive Parenting Program

Presented by Professor Matthew R. Sanders

Promoting parental self-regulation through the Triple P-Positive Parenting Program

This master class focuses on how the Triple P multilevel system of parenting support can be used to promote parental self-regulation to concurrently reduce social, emotional and behavioural problems in children and improve the parenting skills, mental health and wellbeing of parents and caregivers. A self-regulation framework as an active skills training procedure is demonstrated in work with parents. Specific case exemplars are used to highlight how the self-regulation approach can be used in parenting interventions to benefit children, parents, and communities. Strategies for dealing with vulnerable and high-risk parents are discussed including parents with mental health problems, relationship problems, and parents affected by substance abuse. Participants are invited to send clinical questions they would like Professor Sanders to address in the master class.

Family Check-Up

Presented by Professor Beth Stormshak

The Family Check-Up model of prevention in a new era of service delivery

Online delivery of evidence-based mental health prevention and intervention has grown exponentially over the past 10 years. The COVID-19 pandemic escalated this growth by increasing both acceptability and usage of online service delivery for mental and physical health. This talk will provide a summary of research on the Family Check-Up that led to the development of the online model as a tool for promoting healthy family relationships and reducing mental health problems in youth and parents. Video examples and content from the online tool will be presented. Data from multiple randomized clinical trials will be presented and implications for large-scale implementation in schools and communities will be discussed.
