Parent-Child Attachment Play (PCAP)

an online CPD training course for professionals working with children and families.

Clear Sky are pleased to bring you our renowned Parent-Child Attachment Play (PCAP) online CPD accredited professional training. This course offers family practitioners an innovative early help model that focuses on strengthening the parent/carer (or other adult) – child relationship.
 
This course is suitable for practitioners working closely with parents/carers (or other adult) and children/teens, such as play and other creative arts therapists, social workers, teaching and support staff, charity workers, family outreach workers and nursery staff.
 
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 child’s need.
 
The PCAP model integrates both theory and practice so that practitioners are confident in ‘the Why and the How’ in delivering this innovative, creative and effective intervention.
