This includes, but is not limited, to the following potential opportunities:

- Pilot mental health and psychosocial support interventions
(Funding Opportunity) Parent Child CARE (PC-CARE) Pilot: A Brief Intervention for Forcibly Displaced Caregivers and Children
The Center for Adjustment, Resilience, and Recovery (CARRE) and the University of California Davis (UCDavis) are pleased to announce a request for expressions of interest for the “Parent Child CARE (PC-CARE) Pilot Project: A Brief Intervention for Caregivers and Children Together.” This is a pilot that supports the development of quality mental health and psychosocial support services for children and families who have experienced forced displacement (refugees, asylum-seekers, immigrants, etc.) through the implementation of PC-CARE. You can access the full expression of interest details and register to join an information session below.
What is PC CARE?
PC-CARE is a 7-session individual treatment program for caregivers with at least one child between the ages of 1 and 10 years that provides support and skill building opportunities to strengthen the caregiver-child relationship, build upon children’s strengths, and learn new child behavior management strategies. Participants are families who have experienced a traumatic event, may be adjusting to a new home or environment, and/or may be exhibiting behaviors that are challenging to the parent/caregiver.
Want to Partner?
If you are interested in partnering with CARRE and UCDavis on this pilot, please send your responses to the questions in the request for expressions of interest below to [email protected] by Wednesday, September 20th, 2023 at 5pm PST.
