SUMMARY:Virtual Advanced SM Parent Skills Group
DESCRIPTION:This 6-week virtual course helps caregivers build off of their foundational PCIT–SM skillset and equips them with next-level strategies to support continued progress. Whether your child is gaining momentum or facing new challenges\, this group offers guidance\, structure\, and collaborative problem-solving to keep brave talking moving forward. \n\n\n\nYou’ll learn how to fine-tune exposure plans\, strengthen your child’s motivation and confidence\, and expand your coaching skills across a wider range of real-life settings. You’ll also learn how to adapt your approach when things feel stuck — whether it’s uncertainty at school\, shifts in your child’s comfort level\, or transitions to new environments. \n\n\n\nVisit squareonenyc.com to learn more! \n\n\n\nFee: $600 for one caregiver. 50% discount for second caregiver.
