2020 Midwest Parent-Child
Interaction Therapy Conference
Expanding Opportunities within PCIT
COVID-19 Update:
It is our hope that we will be able to hold the Midwest PCIT conference as planned in Omaha. However, we will be continually assessing the situation around COVID-19 and will be making contingency plans as necessary as we prioritize everyone’s health and safety.
About
Children’s Hospital & Medical Center, Omaha, is hosting the 2nd Biennial Midwest Parent-Child Interaction Therapy (PCIT) Conference in October 2020.
The goal of this conference is to provide continuing education and networking for new and experienced PCIT providers. We are excited to offer engaging keynote speakers and relevant topics for our local Midwest community, as well as the broader community of PCIT therapists.
Last year’s theme was Engaging Families, Engaging Systems.
Speakers focused on factors that enhance family engagement and increase awareness and collaboration with a range of child-serving systems (e.g., schools, primary care, child welfare, juvenile justice).
This year’s theme is Expanding Opportunities within PCIT.
The goal for the second biennial conference is to build upon the knowledge gained and expand PCIT horizons to learn about opportunities to creatively apply PCIT to a diverse range of populations and concerns. In addition, conference attendees will have expanded opportunities to connect with other PCIT providers and stakeholders to continue building a network within our Midwest community and beyond.
The call for poster, workshop, and symposia submissions will open this spring.
Students, clinicians, and researchers are encouraged to submit proposals through July 30, 2020.
Please plan to attend this exciting next installment of the Midwest PCIT Conference!

We are excited to announce a call for submissions to the 2nd Biennial Midwest PCIT Conference. The conference theme this year is Expanding Opportunities within PCIT and we are now accepting proposals that fit within this theme. We are also interested in topics that promote clinical skill enhancement.
We welcome submissions from students, clinicians, and researchers!

At least one co-author must be present and available during the poster session to discuss and answer questions as attendees walk through the reception. Posters must be specific to PCIT.

Skill-building workshops: Workshops should be clinically relevant and build skills of PCIT clinicians, supervisors, or trainees. Submitters may request the amount of time they feel would be most beneficial ranging from 60-120 minutes.
