Research
CARE Lab
About
At the CARE lab, we study attachment in family and counseling relationships. We are interested in finding out what helps both children and adults be more securely attached and understanding the links between attachment and how relationships work. Also, we conduct research on the development of emotion regulation in children. We are interested in cultural factors related to parenting and examine parenting across diverse contexts. Finally, we conduct research on the process and outcome of treatment in preventive interventions with families who have infants or children, as well as in individual counseling with adults. CARE is committed to giving back to the community. As a way of giving back to the Community, Dr. Susan Woodhouse is providing a 10-week Circle of Security-Parenting sessions at the Granite Street Head Start, which is a video based parenting education/parenting reflection group. For more information on Circle of Security, including Circle of Security-Parenting, see http://circleofsecurity.net/ .

PACT Study
CARE is a research project under the PACT umbrella.
Parents and Children Together (PACT): A Place for Learning about Children and Families was established in Harrisburg by an interdisciplinary group of Penn State researchers who are interested in issues that are important for infants, children, and families. PACT focuses on research relevant to families with young children from infancy through early childhood. PACT focuses on community-engaged research. The PACT Community Advisory Board oversees all of the PACT studies, including CARE. The PACT Community Advisory Board has three standing subcommittees: Outreach Committee, Dissemination Committee, and Intervention Committee. The outreach committee oversees researchers’ efforts to give back to the community. The Dissemination Committee oversees ensuring that researchers provide the community with findings that emerge from the research done through PACT. The Intervention Committee works to develop and do research on sustainable interventions within the community.
CARE’s commitment to the community as a PACT study.
As a PACT-based study, CARE provides community outreach associated with our basic and applied research efforts and give back to the community in ways that are relevant to community members and the agencies that serve them. For example, we have provided workshops on parenting through Harrisburg churches and have done staff training for local agencies on parenting-related issues. Currently, Dr. Susan Woodhouse is providing the Circle of Security Parenting program for parents at a Head Start center in Harrisburg at no cost.
Our goal is to conduct research that is relevant to the diverse groups that make up the Harrisburg community. We seek to understand the particular strengths and strategies, as well as challenges, of all families so that our scientific understanding of children and families will reflect everyone in the community. CARE participates in events to disseminate results of the project to the community. Overall, we want to empower families and those who serve them.
