HERE’S HOW THE AUTHORS DESCRIBE THIS REPORT:

In July 2018, the Ontario Ministry of Children, Community and Social Services contracted with Turner Consulting Group Inc. to conduct an evaluation of the Innovative Supports for Black Parents (ISBP) initiative. The overall goals of the ISBP initiative are to enhance the availability of effective, culturally relevant, and culturally responsive parenting supports for Black parents and/or caregivers and to improve outcomes for Black children, youth, and their families.

This report, the first in the series, explores the unique challenges experienced by Black parents. This research helps expand our understanding of the need for culturally relevant and responsive parenting programs and the types of issues they can support Black parents to address if they are to improve the outcomes for Black children and youth.
