Fostering Resilience in National Guard and Reserve Families: A Contextual Adaptation of an Evidence-Based Parenting Program

Type
Summary

Cultural adaptations to existing interventions have been found to increase participant engagement and satisfaction. The After Deployment, Adaptive Parenting Tools (ADAPT) intervention is a military adaptation of an existing parenting program that seeks to address deployment-related stressors in National Guard and Reserve (NG/R) soldiers and their families in an effort to maximize both participant engagement and satisfaction. Findings indicate a high level of engagement in and satisfaction with the intervention.
