Results of a feasibility trial examining the effects of the Make Parenting A Pleasure (MPAP), a parent training program promoting family resilience, showed that participants in the MPAP treatment group demonstrated an increase in parenting skills and child development knowledge as well as a decrease in parental depression when compared to waitlist control group participants. Results emphasize the importance of promoting resiliency by supporting parents through direct instruction and skill development. MPAP is a 12-week program designed to promote family resilience by strengthening the following factors: parental resilience, social connections, concrete support in times of need, knowledge of parenting and child development, and social and emotional competence in children. Fifty-nine (59) participants were assigned to either a treatment group (n = 32) or a waitlist control group (n = 27). (Published Abstract Provided)
