The Incredible Years

The Incredible Years Series (IYS) is a prevention and intervention program intended to enhance children’s social and emotional competencies, and ultimately reduce behavior problems.

Goal

The goal of The Incredible Years program is to enhance children’s social and emotional competencies and reduce behavior problems. The program also aims to decrease harsh discipline practices, improve proactive parenting skills and the parent–child relationship, enhance children’s academic and social competence, and decrease aggression.

The Incredible Years Series (IYS) is a prevention and intervention program designed to strengthen positive relationships between parents and children. Families can expect an evidence-based approach that is proven to enhance parenting practices, children’s behavior, and overall family dynamics. The parenting program is recommended by the American Psychological Association Task Force as meeting the stringent criteria for empirically supported mental health interventions for children with conduct problems. The Incredible Years is also recognized by Blueprints for Violence Prevention and SAMHSA as a model program to promote social competence and reduce behavioral concerns.

What to Expect

“My grandson’s emotional control has greatly improved. The teachers are SO patient with him. This program has been so successful that I’m enrolling him in Art Therapy. Incredible Years should be part of the school curriculum!”
