Summary

This study tests a brief behavioral program called Project Support Positive Parenting Module for families waiting for trauma-focused services. Caregivers receive up to four sessions teaching attentive listening and comforting skills to improve supportive parenting and reduce child psychological distress. The trial includes 32 families with children aged 5–12 and explores whether the program is feasible, acceptable, and linked to better parenting self-efficacy and child mental health.
