PRESERVE & CONNECT: Impact Study of the Breakthrough Parenting Curriculum

This study is testing a program called the Breakthrough Parenting Curriculum (BPC): Navigating Trauma Across Generations. It's designed to help families who have experienced trauma and are involved, or at risk of being involved, with the child welfare system. Researchers want to see if the BPC can improve child safety, help children stay with their families (permanency), and improve children's overall well-being. You might be able to join if you are a parent involved with the child welfare system and do not have certain mental health conditions like active psychosis or suicidal thoughts. The study is currently unclear on its recruitment status and aims to enroll 240 participants.
