Les programmes parentaux ont-ils leur place dans les pays francophones européens ? Analyse des besoins des parents et du soutien souhaité

Data from this international survey provides important information to guide the prevention of emotional and behavioral disorders in children. The risk factors and the needs of parents in the survey seem to justify the development of a multi-level prevention system like Triple P. In particular, universal prevention seems important to destigmatize the request for parental support. Providing varied access to information about parenting and more easily accessible programs would help reach more parents. It would also seem important to involve and train teachers and pediatricians to support parents with child behavior problems. This study could enable policy makers to become aware of the needs of parents and to better target the resources allocated to prevention and child support structures, in which the skills of cognitive-behavioral therapists are needed.
