Keeping Children in Healthy and Protective Families (KCHPF) is an operational research project that supported the reintegration of children living in residential care back into family care. The research was designed to evaluate the impact of adding a household-based parenting program to a standardized reintegration package that included individualized case management support and a reunification cash grant, aimed at strengthening the reintegration of children living in residential care back into family care.
This practitioner brief shares lessons learned from adapting the Parenting for Lifelong Health curriculum specifically delivery at a household level in order to focus on the unique needs of the reintegrating family. The lessons learned and recommendations from the operations research are applicable to other reintegration programs which want to include a parenting intervention.
