STRENGTHS-BASED CASE MANAGEMENT.

Parenting education programs (PEP) are an important and proven intervention strategy in preventing child abuse and neglect. While the literature on the efficacy of PEP is robust, there is still no consensus on the conditions that make some implementations of PEP more successful than others. This paper provides evidence of the impact of implementing the Nurturing Parenting Program (NPP), combined with the Family Development Matrix (FDM). Using a Pre-Post comparison design, data from the First 5 San Bernardino program were analyzed for the years 2012–2017. NPP outcome measures from the Adult-Adolescent Parenting Inventory (AAPI) improved substantially after the FDM was implemented. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
