Title
Supporting Parents, Supporting Teenagers. Parenting UR Teen Evaluation Summary Report
Description

Briefing paper from the evaluation of the Parenting UR Teen programme from Parenting NI and the Institute of Child Care Research at Queen's University Belfast.

Parenting UR Teens is a parenting programme developed and delivered by Parenting NI, an organisation in Northern Ireland with a regional remit to promote positive parenting by providing support, training and information on family issues. The programme was developed by Parenting NI in response to a gap in provision for parents of adolescents. Parenting UR Teen is a group-based programme delivered over eight 2 hour sessions. Underpinned by Family Systems Theory, the programme promotes authoritative parenting throughout. In each session, trained facilitators introduce a range of relevant topics, followed by group discussions of homework tasks and problem solving scenarios. Sessions cover issues such as parenting styles, teen development, self-esteem, rules and consequences, conflict and problem solving.

The evaluation used an experimental design and included an examination of the programme implementation, it’s impact, and how the programme and evaluation were experienced by key stakeholders. This briefing paper presents some of the major findings from the quantitative and qualitative research. This publication is part of a larger collection of research reports from Atlantic Philanthropies’ investment into prevention and early intervention including the more comprehensive technical report from this evaluation.
