The Power of Partnership
What a great time with our academic and community partner, University of Miami Mailman Center for Child Development, as we shared and celebrated our work together at the 2026 PCIT International Biennial Convention.
Together, we have co-created Miami’s first integrated PCIT–Natural Helper/Community Health Worker (NH/CHW) model, bringing together PCIT’s evidence-based practice with the trusted relationships and community-based support of NHs/CHWs.
By connecting clinical and home settings, the model strengthens Parent-Child Interaction Therapy (PCIT) for young children ages 2–7 experiencing disruptive behaviors and emotional dysregulation—helping families build skills where they live, learn, play, and thrive.
And the most exciting part? We’re already seeing promising results for families and program outcomes!
This is what happens when community knowledge, academic expertise, and evidence-based practices come together to co-create solutions that work for families. Special thank you to The Children's Trust for your support.
