Review of parent training: Developing a culturally relevant parenting curriculum
by Johnson, Tamarra V., Psy.D., REGENT UNIVERSITY, 2007, 90 pages; 3310455

Abstract:

The African-American community has been an underserved population in the area of mental health for many years. With the increase in societal problems and increased externalizing behaviors in African-American children, parents are looking for assistance in ensuring their children do not become another statistic. In an effort to obtain this assistance, many African-American parents have relied on their local church. The clergy consequently has begun to look to mental health professionals to collaborate with parents in the development of programs that meet the needs of their parishioners. The proposed Train Up A Child parent-training curriculum is an effort to respond to this need by developing a culturally relevant parenting curriculum that is informed by the research and delivered from a Christian worldview. This project includes a review of the current literature on parent training and African-American parenting strategies, methods of developing parenting curricula, and suggestions for future research on this program. Additionally, this project includes a proposed culturally relevant parenting curriculum for African-American parents.
