Summary

This study looks at whether the Lighthouse Parenting Programme, a 20-week group course that helps caregivers better understand their own and their child's feelings, is practical and well-received by families involved with Child Protection Services. About 60 caregivers will either take the programme or receive usual services. The goal is not to prove the programme works, but to see if a larger future study is possible.
