The Helping Families Programme: a new parenting intervention for children with severe and persistent conduct problems.

BACKGROUND
  Severe and persistent conduct problems in children during the primary school years are associated with school exclusion, increased risk of delinquency and early substance abuse.


METHOD
  Literature reviews and consultation with experts in the field were used to better understand the factors that contribute to severe and persistent conduct problems and to identify the principles and potential methods to be included in a new intervention.


RESULTS
  Grounded in an ecological perspective, an innovative, multimodal intervention, the Helping Families Programme, has been developed. It uses a modular approach to systematically address parent behaviour, cognition and emotion across five key risk factor domains: parental mood and dysregulation; parent-child, family and school relationships; substance misuse; social support and networks; and managing life events and crises.


CONCLUSION
  Initial piloting of the Programme has offered early support for the potential value of the underlying principles and methods of the Programme.
