PCIT in
San Diego County, California
COUNTY: San Diego
Every county in California faces unique challenges in supporting children’s mental health and family well-being. Parent-Child Interaction Therapy (PCIT) offers a proven, scalable solution that meets families where they are. By implementing PCIT, counties can strengthen caregiver-child relationships, reduce disruptive behaviors, and improve long-term outcomes for children in their communities. As part of the BH-Connect initiative, the PCIT Center of Excellence equips counties with data, training, and hands-on support to expand access, maintain fidelity, and ensure sustainable impact statewide.
