Parent Management Training – Oregon Model (PMTO)

Parent Management Training - Oregon Model (PMTO)

Parenting Management Training - The Oregon Model (PMTO) is a theory-based intervention to prevent internalizing and externalizing conduct behaviors and associated problems and promote healthy child adjustment. PMTO provides recently separated single mothers with 14 weekly group sessions to learn effective parenting practices including skill encouragement, limit-setting, problem-solving, monitoring, and positive involvement. PMTO also includes strategies to help parents decrease coercive exchanges with their children and use contingent positive reinforcements (e.g., praise, incentives) to promote prosocial behavior. Topics are presented in an integrated, step-by-step approach and are typically introduced in one or more sessions, then reviewed and revisited throughout the remainder of the program.
