Body Project

The Body Project is delivered to groups of 6-10 participants in 4 1-hour sessions by 1 or 2 facilitators. Participants complete a series of verbal, behavioral, and written activities in which they collectively explore the negative effects of pursuing the unrealistic appearance ideal espoused for women in U.S. culture. These activities are designed to reduce pursuit of the beauty ideal, which in turn aims to reduce body dissatisfaction, unhealthy dieting, negative affect, eating disorder symptoms, risk for future onset of eating disorders, and the harmful effects of social media use.

Parenting Through Change (PTC; GenerationPMTO Group)

GenerationPMTO was formerly known as Parent Management Training - the Oregon Model (PMTO®). Parenting Through Change (PTC; GenerationPMTO Group) is a group parenting intervention that addresses child and adolescent behavior problems, including oppositional defiant and conduct problems and associated challenges such as attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) symptoms, delinquency, substance use, depression, academic problems, and deviant peer association. Weekly parent group sessions introduce a set of core parenting practices (e.g., skill encouragement, limit setting, monitoring, problem solving, and positive involvement) and supporting practices (e.g., active communication, emotion regulation, and academic promotion). Group facilitators use active teaching skills (e.g., role play, problem solving, and relevant experiential activities) to introduce and practice skills. Parent groups, which are designed for prevention and clinically referred samples, are available in 10, 12, and 14 session formats. The individual family session version of this intervention, GenerationPMTO (Individual Delivery Format), is also rated on the CEBC.

Mellow Babies

Mellow Babies consists of 14-week long postnatal group programs for moms and dads, with gender-specific sessions for moms and dads run separately. They run for one full day a week. Mellow Babies groups include personal development for the parents, including addressing past and current relationship difficulties and topics such as depression, self-esteem, and domestic violence. Over a shared lunch and joint activity with the babies or children, parents learn how to interact enjoyably with their babies. The third part of the day is a parenting workshop that uses the parents' own video-taped interaction their children to identify and enhance positive interaction. These activities are followed up in "HAVE A GO" home tasks.

Babies are cared for in high quality babies groups during the morning and afternoon parent groups, joining their parents for lunch, and play activities. During these groups, there will be activities the child care leaders do with the babies that match the theme of what the parents are learning about in their group. The lunchtime activities are designed to enhance engagement and enjoyment between parent and child and to introduce a repertoire of fun activities which are free or low cost and which parents may never have tried before, but parents can try out for themselves at home.

Cognitive Processing Therapy

CPT was originally developed for use with rape and crime victims, but it is used with a variety of trauma populations, including both military and civilian samples. CPT focuses on identifying and challenging maladaptive beliefs that develop about, and as a result of, the traumatic event. The therapist helps the client to identify problem areas (i.e., stuck points) in their thinking about the traumatic event, which have impeded their recovery. Therapists then use Socratic dialogue, a form of questioning that encourages clients to examine and evaluate their own beliefs rather than being told in a directive way, to help clients challenge their stuck points. Throughout the treatment, worksheets and Socratic dialogue are used to help clients replace maladaptive beliefs with more balanced alternative statements. CPT can be delivered individually or in a group format.

Note: When CPT was originally developed and for many years after that, it included a trauma narrative as part of the intervention. Since 2011, a number of research studies using CPT without the trauma narrative (known as CPT-C) have been published. In 2017, the developer of CPT made the decision to no longer include the trauma narrative as part its intervention as the primary therapy format (the exceptions are if the clients want to write an account or if they are highly dissociative to piece together the event). Research is being conducted on both versions of the therapy but there is more on CPT than CPT+A (with accounts).
