Improving Child Management Skills: Youths are identified who may potentially benefit from their Caregivers improving their child management skills (e.g. PMT) as part of initial treatment.

The system will suggest "Improving Child Management Skills" (as it does above) when the Youth is severely (30) or moderately (20) impaired on the Home subscale, with no severe co-morbidity (i.e., no severe impairments on the following scales: Thinking, Self-Harm, Mood, and Community). If the client does not meet these criteria, nothing will be shown for child management skills. |
