This project is designed to provide parents and childcare providers with information and skills to respond more effectively to challenging and aggressive behaviors in young children, ages 2-5. It involves the implementation and evaluation of a well-researched intervention, "The Incredible Years," developed by Carolyn Webster-Stratton, Ph.D. to prevent the development of conduct disorders in young children. The grant from the Substance Abuse Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) involves collaboration between Multnomah County Department of Community and Family Services, Behavioral Health Division, Morrison Center, and Metro Child Care Resource and Referral, and the RRI. Barbara Friesen and Constance Lehman are Co-Principal Investigators for the evaluation.
