Adapting a Parenting Program to Support Family Reintegration

Coordinating Comprehensive Care for Children (4Children)

This Practitioner Brief presents key learning and recommendations from the Keeping Children in Healthy and Protective Families (KCHPF) project, an operational research project which supported the reintegration of children living in residential care back into family care in Uganda. The research was designed to evaluate the impact of adding a household-based parenting program to a standardized reintegration package that included individualized case management support and a reunification cash grant, aimed at strengthening the reintegration of children living in residential care back into family care. The brief describes how the existing Parenting for Lifelong Health (PLH) curriculum, developed by Clowns without Borders South Africa, was adapted to the Ugandan context and key lessons from the adaptation and implementation of the curriculum.
