Focusing on Relationships: An Effort That Pays

Best practice demands that infants and young children be treated in the context of relationships with caregivers. But health insurance systems, including Medicaid, require that an individual, not a relationship, be identified as a subscriber and that treatment be documented and billed accordingly. This discrepancy produces conceptual and ethical dilemmas for clinicians. This resource by Maria Seymore St. John, PhD, MFR, offers a solution: The Parent–Child Relationship Competencies (PCRCs) emerge spontaneously in ordinary circumstances, but may be strained, impaired, or absent when something is wrong. PCRC-focused clinical assessment offers a clear path to relationship-based case formulation that conforms with standard systems of care.

I’m Here For You Now

This board book includes eight photo inserts for caregivers to add pictures that chronicle a child’s daily interactions with the loving adults in his life.

Learning Through Supervision and Mentorship

Mama’s Waves

Ellie's mom did not come for their visit, and Ellie is sad and angry as she tries to understand why. Fortunately, Miss K. and Ellie's Uncle Finny are there. Using the metaphor of a wave, they help Ellie talk about and understand her mother's ups and downs, recognize and hold on to loving memories, and know she is not alone. Millions of young children live in families with an adult struggling due to trauma (including adverse childhood experiences, or ACEs), mental illness, substance abuse, or other addiction. Mama's Waves was written for any child with a family member riding emotional waves, whether they live together or not.
