What is PCAP?
Parent-Child Attachment Play (PCAP) is an innovative early help model that focuses on strengthening the parent/carer (or other adult) â child relationship.
The PCAP practitioner primarily works with the parent/carer (or other adult) in a one to one or group-based setting. The intervention is aimed at children 3+ to late teens. It can be offered to both neurotypical and neurodiverse children and adapted according to the childâs needs.
The PCAP model integrates both theory and practice so that practitioners are confident in âthe Why and the Howâ in delivering this innovative, creative and effective intervention.
PCAP training provides:
- A strong grounding in the latest attachment, neuroscience and child psychology research and theory that underpins the model
- Understanding of the intergenerational transmission of attachment and how PCAP can play a role in creating long -lasting meaningful change in familial relationships
- Understanding of a 10-step method that integrates 3 fundamental attachment focused mechanisms; reflective functioning, child led play and containment
- A clear structure/plan that can be adapted based on your setting
- An experiential and creative learning experience which guides and empowers you as a practitioner
- A reflective space to develop your own authentic style of facilitation
- A range of pre and post outcome measures to support evaluation and commissioning requirements
- Access to a hub of research articles, videos and resources including example session plans so that you are ready to start offering PCAP sessions on completion of the course!
