Population-based approaches to parenting support

Currently, we don’t fully understand the impact that investment in a broader ecological approach to parenting support can have on whole-of-community indicators of wellbeing, risk and disadvantage.
This research stream seeks to extend our understanding of and ability to influence the uptake of evidence-based parenting support at the whole-of-community level by exploring issues such as the effect providing evidence-based parenting support can have on family violence, school attendance and achievement, child literacy, community connectedness, parental employment and welfare dependency.
