The Center for the Improvement of Child Caring’s (CICC) LNBE program is a parenting skill-building program created specifically for parents of Latino American children. It has become one of the main parenting interventions provided by the staffs of the Latino Family Preservation units in the Los Angeles County Department of Children and Family Services. It is designed as a 12-session program to be used with small groups of parents, and as a one-day seminar for large numbers of parents. Over 1500 professionals, from 20 states, have been trained to deliver it since the late 1980s when it became available for national use through instructor training workshops conducted in cities nationwide.
