This paper describes a randomized controlled evaluation of a web-based parenting-after-divorce/separation program, the electronic New Beginnings Program (eNBP). This project advances the goal of making parent education programs widely accessible (e.g., Salem et al., 2013; Schramm & Becher, 2020) and is consistent with the Association of Family and Conciliation Court’s (AFCC) vision of developing a justice system in which all professionals work collaboratively through education, support, and access to services to achieve the best possible outcome for children and families. This is the first study to demonstrate that a web-based parenting program for separated/divorced parents significantly reduced children’s mental health problems. In addition to improving children’s mental health problems, the program improved two aspects of positive parenting, parent-child relationship quality and effective discipline, and reduced interparental conflict. Because the program effects on all outcomes occurred for both parent and child reports, confidence in the findings is increased. |
