Abstract

ABSTRACT Parenting effectively after resettlement is a significant challenge faced by many former refugees. This study considers experiences of the Positive Parenting Programme (Triple P), an evidence-based parenting program; specifically, its perceived utility in assisting refugee background parents. This includes identifying amendments to better meet these parents’ needs. This New Zealand-based study involved interviewing seven refugee background mothers following their attendance of the Triple P Discussion Group Series. Analysis of accounts has participants describing this series as useful in addressing parenting needs, but also identifying amendments which would render the program more effective and relevant, including addressing changes in family dynamics, parental mental health concerns, and single parenting.
