Become
Empowered 
Even
in the era of Barack Obama, raising children of
African descent in the United States is very
challenging and fraught with obstacles that
emanate from the history of racism and
discrimination in our
nation.
It is
just harder to raise proud and capable African
American children and youth when the material and
psychological problems that have accompanied the
ignoble facets of our nation's history are still
part and parcel of the human
landscape.
Fortunately,
there is an educational program for parents of
African American children that has already proven
to be extremely beneficial, the Effective Black
Parenting Program of the nonprofit Center for the
Improvement of Child Caring. Hundreds of
thousands of parents, grandparents, foster and
adoptive parents have already had the opportunity
to become empowered and educated through the
program and millions more can potentially be
similarly
empowered. |

WEBINAR
PRESENTER
Dr.
Kerby T. Alvy, a psychologist, is one of the nation's
most respected and honored authorities and authors on
effective parenting and parenting training, and the
driving force behind the development and dissemination
of the Effective Black Parenting Program. In the
late 1970s and early 1980s, he assembled an
extraordinary group of African American scholars and
clinicians to initiate the program, including the late
Dr. Charles Thomas, the father of Black Psychology, and
Dr. Hector Myers of UCLA.
Dr. Alvy
wrote the proposals to the Minority Mental Health Branch
of the National Institute of Mental Health and to the
Prevention Branch of the National Institute on Drug
Abuse that produced the research upon which the program
is based. He personally trained the first cadre of
African American educators, psychologists and social
workers to deliver the program, and designed the
instructor workshops that have already trained more than
3000 African American professionals and
paraprofessionals to deliver the program to hundreds of
thousands of parents of African American children in 40
states and the District of Columbia.
Dr.
Alvy wrote the book about the creation of the program,
Black Parenting: Strategies for
Training,
and has been honored in the White House and by African
American churches for spearheading its development and
widespread use.
Because
Dr. Alvy is not himself of African descent,
his important role has not been without
controversy. His leadership has been the subject of much
discussion and of several feature articles, such as one
that appeared early on in the Los Angeles
Times,The Education of Kerby
Alvy. |
