First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looks at whether adding a community health worker (called a natural helper) to standard parent-child therapy helps families stay in the program and see better results. About 300 families with children aged 2 to 12 who have behavior problems or a history of abuse will take part. The goal is to improve child behavior, parenting skills, and reduce family stress over 18 weeks.
