This study examines a promising new coping and parental competency (CPC) intervention for parents of children with special educational needs that targets parents' mental health outcomes. Coping and parental competency impact parents' mental health, but no studies have rigorously assessed whether CPC is an effective strategy for cultivating emotional wellness in these parents. A seven‐week skills‐based CPC parenting programme was developed and administered in groups. One hundred twenty‐four parents in Hong Kong were randomly assigned to the intervention group or the wait‐list…

A key element to effectively supporting children in foster care is the provision of adequate social support to caregivers. Where this support is not forthcoming or timely, problems experienced by foster families can escalate and impact the quality of care for children and/or lead to placement instability and breakdown. Providing sufficient social support on a one-to-one basis can be costly and place high demands on social workers. This is exacerbated in situations where social workers must travel long distances to meet with foster families.

Towards addressing this challenge, Cambodian Children’s Trust piloted a Holistic Family Preservation Program in rural Cambodia. In this video, you’ll hear from Sophorn Ngath as he shares some of the key learning from their pilot phase…
