Optimized Parenting for Lifelong Health (PLH) for Parents and Teens
The optimized Parenting for Lifelong Health (PLH) for Parents and Teens program is a group-based parenting and adolescent skills training intervention. It will be delivered to adolescent-caregiver pairs (ages 10-14 and their primary caregivers) in groups of about 10 families. The program lasts 7 weeks and includes one pre-program visit and six weekly group sessions of approximately two hours each. Sessions include both joint and separate modules for caregivers and adolescents, focusing on building positive relationships, managing emotions, establishing routines, problem solving, and strengthening family communication. The program is facilitated by trained professionals who receive two days of training and ongoing weekly supervision.
