Presenting: Jim Wotring

All Authors for this paper: Jim Wotring; Kay Hodges; Marion Forgatch

Presentation Type: element of symposium

Synopsis: A state level perspective, in selecting, planning, and piloting an evidence-based practice, will be provided. The presentation will share how data were used to determine outcomes for existing services and for potential evidence based practices to improve outcomes for children served in the public mental health system. The presentation will describe the broad based change management planning that was initiated to support implementation of an evidence-based practice and conclude with a description of strategies that have been used to build capacity for successful implementation of Parent Management Training-Oregon (PMTO) statewide.

Presentation Type: element of symposium

Synopsis: In 2005 the establishment of Kalamazoo Wraps, a community-based initiative to expand wraparound services and improve our system of care, was facilitated by funding from a SAMAHSA grant. Kalamazoo Wraps supports new evidence-based practice models, such as Parent Management Training-Oregon (PMTO). As we implement PMTO, we are carefully planning dissemination of PMTO and how the evidence-based practice is linked to other elements within the system of care. This presentation describes the data that support the need to implement PMTO in the community and the efforts to integrate it into our system of care. Kalamazoo Wraps is using a broad range of strategies to implement PMTO as the supply of clinicians certified in PMTO cannot yet meet the requests for participation in PMTO.

Synopsis: Parenting children with challenging behaviors takes a special touch. The typical methods and tricks of parenting donÕt always seem to work, and it leaves parents feeling frustrated and helpless. The Positive Management Toolkit is a powerful program that coaches parents to continue what they are already doing well and improve areas where they might not be as strong. Parents who have been taught the Toolkit have said while they were once blamed for their childÕs poor behavior, now they have children who listen. The potential for a community is great Ð giving parents tools to encourage appropriate behaviors, but even more, giving them hope. Families operate more positively, and have more respect for each other after implementing the principles of PMTO. The impact for a community can be even greater if PMTO is expanded to include the childÕs extended family, leaders of extracurricular activities, and teachers. Coaching all the important people in a childÕs life in a consistent way to interact with him or her positively will provide the child with respect and an expectation of behavior, so the child can develop a good feeling about himself or herself.

Statewide Initiative to Embed Evidence-Based Treatment in a Public Mental Health System

We're sorry, handouts are not available for this presentation.

Presenting: Shari-Beth Goldman

All Authors for this paper: Shari-Beth Goldman; Jim Wotring; Kay Hodges; Melanie Hassel

Presentation Type: element of symposium

Synopsis: Nineteen Master's level mental health clinicians from across Michigan have participated in training conducted by Implementation Sciences International, Inc. (ISII), an affiliate of the Oregon Social Learning Center where the Parent Management Training Oregon (PMTO) model of practice was developed. Upon completion of the training and demonstration of good fidelity to the model, trainees become certified PMTO Specialists. The presentation will describe the specialist training, procedures used to collect information on organizational barriers encountered by trainees, and the use of data in development of a state plan to provide ongoing support as specialists become trainers and coaches.

Outcome Indicators for Youth's Functioning and Parent's Child Management Skills: Evaluating Parent Management Training--Oregon Model (PMTO) Trainees

We're sorry, handouts are not available for this presentation.

Presenting: Kay Hodges

All Authors for this paper: Kay Hodges; Jim Wotring; Yange Xue; Marion Forgatch; Melanie Hassel; Scott Hadley

Presentation Type: element of symposium

Synopsis: The Child and Adolescent Functional Assessment Scale (CAFAS) and the Caregiver Wish List are used to evaluate the treatment offered by trainees in the PMTO program in Michigan. The CAFAS is used to select cases for Parent Management Training-Oregon Model (PMTO) treatment (i.e., subscale scores demonstrating pervasive behavioral noncompliance) and to assess change in functioning from pre to post. The Caregiver Wish List assesses parenting skills in managing difficult child behavior (i.e., child management skills). The Caregiver Wish List is a self-report, strength-based measure that was designed to help caregivers assess their skills across six domains of parenting functioning. The data collected to date on the cases being treated by the PMTO trainees are presented.
