Parent Education/Training in the USA: Current Status and Future Trends

Nicholas Long

University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences/Arkansas Children's Hospital, USA, nlong{at}ddcchild.ach.uams.edu

There is a need to reform mental-health services for children in the USA. As part of this reform it is anticipated that greater attention will be given to the role of parent education and training services. This article focuses on the history and anticipated future of parent education in the USA. It is asserted that we are presently entering the third generation of parent education. It is anticipated that this third generation will involve more targeted programs, improved leader training, increased accountability, a more comprehensive view of parenting, greater attention on meeting consumer needs, improved accessibility, a focus on how to optimize programs, increased utilization of emerging technologies, improved coordination of programs, a greater research focus on outcomes and uncertainty regarding clinical parent training within child outpatient-therapy services.

Key Words: parent education • parenting • parent training
