What GenerationPMTO does

GenerationPMTO is a 501(c)(3) non-profit evidence-based parenting intervention program operated by Implementation Sciences International, Inc. (ISII), founded in 2001 by Dr. Marion Forgatch and headquartered in Eugene, Oregon. The program is rooted in the Parent Management Training – Oregon Model (PMTO) originally developed at the Oregon Social Learning Center by Dr. Gerald Patterson and Dr. Marion Forgatch, and is built on the social interaction learning model with over 40 years of peer-reviewed research behind it. GenerationPMTO serves families with children exhibiting behavioral problems (aggression, defiance, conduct issues), child welfare families pursuing reunification, Latino/a immigrant families, refugees, and families referred through primary care. The core product suite includes GenerationPMTO Individual Family Delivery (50-90 minute weekly sessions over 10-25+ sessions), GenerationPMTO Telehealth (50-minute sessions over 6-14 weeks via phone/video), Parenting through Change (PTC) group format, PTC for Reunification (PTC-R/PTC-RH), culturally adapted variants CAPAS/CAPAS-Enhanced/CAPAS-Teen for Spanish-speaking families, TelePMTO, eGen (Empowering Generations) brief eHealth intervention, CPTK (Confident Parents: Thriving Kids) delivered by telephone in British Columbia, and SPARE for European refugees.

The underlying technology comprises manualized clinical protocols, the proprietary FIMP (Fidelity of Implementation Rating System) used to certify practitioners and monitor adherence, and a full-transfer implementation methodology that trains community practitioners to certification, who then train additional trainers, coaches, and fidelity raters. Distribution operates through direct ISII training, channel-partner full-transfer implementation sites in 17+ countries/regions (Norway, Iceland, Netherlands, Denmark, Michigan, Kansas, NYC, BC, Chile, Oregon, Maryland, Chicago, London, Minnesota), and telehealth delivery to end-user families.

The business model is non-profit and grant-dependent: primary funding comes from federal research grants (NIMH R01/R34, Children's Bureau), with supplemental revenue from training and certification fees paid by government child welfare, child mental health, and family service agencies. Pricing is not publicly disclosed. Customer concentration is high in the public-sector child welfare vertical, with named anchor implementations including Norwegian Government Ministries, Michigan PMTO, Kansas Intensive Permanency Project (KIPP), NYC child welfare agencies (Coalition for Hispanic Family Services, Good Shepherd Services, JCCA, New York Foundling, St. Dominic's), Maryland, Chicago/LSSI, Icelandic Government Agency for Child Protection, and CMHA BC. The organization employs 11-50 staff (17+ confirmed on the website) and operates with documented outcome metrics including a 31% decrease in specialist referrals (Iceland), 20% increase in permanent foster care exits (NYC), 65% parent concern resolution (BC), and 87% program retention including 85% for fathers (CAPAS-Enhanced).
