Parenting Month Panel | Supporting Parents in Crisis and Humanitarian Contexts

This Parenting Month, the global community is calling for accessible parenting support for every family. However, despite being amongst the most vulnerable in areas affected by armed conflict, natural disasters, and health emergencies, parenting support for parents and caregivers in crisis and humanitarian contexts is often overlooked.

Join the Global Parenting Initiative and the Global Initiative to Support Parents for a special Panel Discussion marking Parenting Month and World Refugee Day. Participants will learn about current evidence and research gaps on the provision of parenting support in crisis contexts; resources for promoting caregiver mental health and psychosocial well-being; and existing programme models serving parents and caregivers in different settings, challenges and successes in implementation, and recommendations for future work.

Speaking will be experts, including the Alliance Family Strengthening Co-lead from WHO, as well as from Parenting for Lifelong Health, Global Parenting Initiative, UNICEF, Early Childhood Development Action Network, and the Global Partnership to End Violence Against Children. Sitting on our panel are representatives from the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime, the International Rescue Committee, War Child Holland and Karachi Relief Trust.
