Supporting parents in the Global South: Implementation of a faith-based parent program in 12 countries

This study evaluated Celebrating Families, a faith- and community-based parenting program delivered by trained faith leaders in 12 countries. Results from over 2,200 caregivers showed strong participation, high satisfaction, and meaningful improvements in parenting attitudes and a reduction in harsh discipline six months after the program, suggesting the model is both feasible and effective at scale in low- and middle-income settings.
