The effectiveness of Parenthood Continues
The effectiveness of the Parenthood Continues (Ouderschap Blijft) intervention.
Each year, approximately 86.000 Dutch children are affected by parental divorce. Of these cases, 15-20% involve high-conflict divorces characterized by persistent parental disputes, inconsistent caregiving, and, for some, loss of parent-child contact. Parenthood Continues is an intervention that aims to improve post-divorce co-parenting and facilitate positive and frequent parent-child contact in high-conflict divorce situations.
Utrecht 木瓜福利影视, together with iHub, Sterk Huis and various practical institutions, is conducting research into the effectiveness of Parenthood Continues in order to better understand what works for parents and children in complex divorce situations, so that care can be further improved. To gain insight into what works, we examine:
A. How Parenthood Continues is carried out in practice;
B. The outcomes of Parenthood Continues for parents and their children;
C. The role of five key components of the Parenthood Continues Intervention that are considered crucial for effective treatment, to see what works exactly, for whom and under what circumstances. What is the relationship between the components used and the outcomes for parents and children?
