This Combined Parent-Child (CPC) group program is designed to empower parents, enhance positive parenting skills, reduce parental use of punishment, and increase child well-being and compliance.

While no studies have directly compared group to individual CPC interventions, there are specific therapeutic benefits that are associated with group therapy in general. Researchers suggest that positive peer support among group members can increase families’ engagement with the program, attendance, and the shaping of parent behaviours (Borrego, Urquiza, Rasmussen, Zebell, 1999; Webster-Stratton & Hammond, 1997).
In fact, 92% of parent participants in a study examining CPC therapy indicated that the group helped them feel less alone. Group treatment provides parents with opportunities for socialisation, feedback regarding socially appropriate behaviour, and role-playing of desired peer and parent-child interactions.
Groups also provide opportunities for peer modelling, reinforcement and leadership (Flannery-Schroeder, & Kendall, 2000). Group interventions can also help to ensure that more families will have access to specialised group interventions and may be particularly useful in rural areas where mental health services are generally not in abundance.
The program has its own participant workbook which is available here for pre-order: A Combined Parent-Child Program for Children with ADHD.
