Summary

This study tests a 12-session virtual training program for foster and kinship caregivers of children aged 2 to 9. The program teaches positive parenting skills through group discussions, videos, and role play. Researchers want to see if it reduces caregiver stress and prevents child behavior problems compared to usual support services. 300 caregivers in Ohio are being recruited.
