For those of us who have ever raised children, how many times do you remember thinking to yourself -- when your child was in the throes of an outburst and simply would not listen to a word you said -- "I wish someone would help me and tell me what to do?"

 

As parents and caregivers of children with serious emotional and behavioral problems, River Oak families face such moments of uncertainty, frustration, and despair on a daily basis - moments that could potentially lead to abuse. River Oak is pleased to announce that our agency is adding another child abuse prevention program to our array of services that will help our families through such difficult times, called Parent-Child Interaction Therapy (PCIT). The addition of this nationally recognized and research-based practice makes River Oak the only Sacramento-area nonprofit providing as many as eight such practices to children and families in need in our community.
