Organized By: National AIA Resource Center, UC Berkeley, CA
Presenter: Carla Elia, Ph.D.
The session will focus on teaching clinical skills derived from an evidence-based intervention targeting the needs of school-age children of parents living with HIV/AIDS, mental illness, and substance abuse. The webinar will highlight the core elements of the intervention (e.g., cognitive behavioral skills), and explain how to assist clients in integrating these skills into everyday life, thus creating positive behavior change. In addition, the session will discuss how to provide children with a set of skills to cope with the various challenges of living in a family affected by these complex issues.
