The primary long-term project goal is to reduce physical, emotional, and sexual violence against children in Thailand. In order to achieve this vision, families who have participated in a Parenting for Lifelong Health programme will have newly acquired parenting skills that enable them to strengthen parent-child relationships, increase positive parenting practices, reduce violent discipline, and improve child monitoring and supervision in online and offline environments. This skills training and support will be possible due to our short terms goals of building the capacity of policymakers, monitoring and evaluation officers, and frontline practitioners, who are working within government agencies and NGOs to deliver PLH programmes to families with children across the developmental spectrum.

The secondary long-term project goal is to reduce the overall level of physical, emotional, and sexual violence against children in Southeast Asia. Our short-term goal, which will assist in this effort, is to promote the adaptation and implementation of evidence-based parenting programmes through the South-to-South exchange of good practices between practitioners and researchers.

Project Period: January 2022 – December 2024

1. To support the scale-up and evaluation of PLH delivery within the public health system in Thailand, with an initial focus on the Northeastern region
