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 second in the series, provides an overview of the existing parenting programs and services in Ontario. The goal is to identify the availability of culturally relevant and responsive parenting supports designed to improve outcomes for Black children, youth, and their families and also identify gaps in service.
