Group Parenting Interventions
• Short-term improvement in parental depression, stress, confidence and anxiety (Barlow, et al. 2012)
• Early support for improvement of child emotional and behavioural adjustment (Barlow et al. 2012)
![Page 8: Centering Parenting: Meeting the needs of parents](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062813/568164ce550346895dd6f696/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)

Other Supporting Work
• Peer Support for improving breastfeeding duration
(Jolly et al. 2012, Renfrew et al. 2012)
• Early evaluation work from other Centering Parenting programs shows some signs of improved maternal BMI

Provider Assessment• Each dyad has an individual assessment with the health provider
• Normal triage done
• Questions are saved for the group session
![Page 13: Centering Parenting: Meeting the needs of parents](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062813/568164ce550346895dd6f696/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)

Paradigm ShiftTraditional Care Group Care• Directive• Expert-led• Education random
and provider dependent
• Few opportunities for socialization with others
• Facilitative• Shared ownership of health• More time for education,
shared with all• Opportunity for
socialization, peer-to-peer support

What have we learned so far…Parents:“I didn’t have a support
network: other mothers who were feeling the same things I was feeling.”
“The most valuable component is connecting with other parents.”
![Page 20: Centering Parenting: Meeting the needs of parents](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062813/568164ce550346895dd6f696/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)

What have we learned so far…
PHNs were excited about a new model of providing care and having additional opportunities for professional growth.

Parenting ExpertsThere was considerable support from local parenting and child development experts
“[The program] has really good adult learning principles and parenting education practices as well… It’s fabulous.”
“I really think that it’s only getting them there once. Once you get them to [the group] they’re hooked. I truly believe that.”

Research Questions for the Feasibility Study
Is it feasible to implement a Centering Parenting group intervention In the Alberta context?
How do the pilot results compare to pre-intervention measures, available local data, and/or established
norms?
![Page 24: Centering Parenting: Meeting the needs of parents](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062813/568164ce550346895dd6f696/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
