The full 12-session Hope Groups program is very effective when delivered as one full program for those in extended crisis. Here is a summary of research supported by the University of Oxford that describes the evaluation results: The Effectiveness of Hope Groups, a Mental Health, Parenting Support, and Violence Prevention Program for Families Affected by the War in Ukraine: Findings from a Pre-Post Study. These groups help families in crisis move toward hope.
The Hope Groups are part of a three-phase model for being ‘crisis-ready’ to deliver evidence-based psychosocial and parenting support for families affected by crisis and transition, such as conflict, war, displacement, migration, natural disaster, climate disaster, epidemic, etc. These phases include evidence-based parenting resources adapted from Parenting for Lifelong Health and war-time parenting research and programs.
