"Effects of Parenting in Sweden on Trust in Social Services"

"A group-based program for immigrant parents of children aged 0-17, providing essential information on key aspects of family life in Sweden. The intervention consists of five weekly three-hour sessions, combining lectures, group discussions, and interactive exercises, led by a trained group leader and, when necessary, an interpreter.~The following topics are discussed:~* Parenting in a New Country - Adapting to cultural changes and supporting children's integration.~* Education \& Child Development - School system, parental involvement, and learning support.~* Healthcare \& Well-being - Access to healthcare, preventive care, and mental health.~* Parents' Rights \& Responsibilities - Child welfare laws, positive discipline, and social services.~* Parenting Teenagers - Navigating adolescence, peer relationships, and risk prevention."

"Parents in the control group are asked to participate in a gathering where they will watch two short films from the Swedish Educational Broadcasting Company (UR), followed by a brief discussion. The films have been handpicked by representatives from BRIS and PLUS together with the researchers to create an opportunity for a meeting. The first film A way in - first meeting shows a family from Iran living in Sweden for 1,5 years and explores how one can establish a place in society. In the second film Make new friends it is illustrated how hard it can be to create a new social context. The intention with the short films is not to give a short version of PiS, but to engage parents in the study and the program so they will complete them."
