PCIT is fun for both the parent and child.

Did you know that MCCS Henderson Hall supports Marines, other service members, retirees, and their families in a 106 square mile area around our nation’s capital? Yes, one of the smallest MCCS organizations in the Marine Corps reaches Marines here — and around the world — through our media, both print and online.

While we have events year-round that complement our on-going programs, September is especially busy this year. You can see throughout this magazine the many events we have planned. In fact, we ran out of space to promote them all, so we ask that you visit us online to find out about our “Pups in the Pool” dog swim on September 5, the Weber Tail-gating event on September 6, and the Golf With Us tournament at Marine Base Quantico’s Medal of Honor Golf Course. You may also sign up for our weekly e-blast, The Week Ahead, by going to our website, www.mccsHH.com/Signup.html.

If you are new to the area, welcome! If you haven’t been to Joint Base Myer-Henderson Hall in a while, come see our new MCX departments, visit the new wing at Marine & Family Programs, and see all we have to offer.

PCIT is an exceptionally effective treatment backed by over 30 years of research and practice by PCIT providers throughout the United States and internationally (www.pcit.org). PCIT focuses on improving positive child behavior through a strong parent-child relationship. PCIT is a relatively short-term intervention, averaging 12 – 14 weekly sessions.

Call 703-614-7204 to find out more!

Caregivers are the “heart” of the program. PCIT cares for the caregivers.
