"It opened a new door for me": A qualitative study of forcibly displaced parents' experiences of an attachment-based parenting program.

The aim of the study was to explore forcibly displaced parents' experiences of how an online attachment-based parenting program ( eConnect ) impacted their relationships with their teens. Data was collected from four focus group discussions with 28 parents who participated in the eConnect program. Data was analyzed using network thematic analysis. A global theme emerged from the analysis: Strengthened Parent-Teen Relationships . Four underpinning organizing themes described the process through which the parent-teen relationship was strengthened: Knowledge Served as the Foundation for Change, Increased Parental Self-Efficacy, Improved Emotional Attunement Facilitates Dyadic Affect Regulation, and Shifted Power Dynamics and Emerging Mutual Parent-Teen Partnership . Findings suggest that eConnect is promising intervention for strengthening parent-teen relationships and supporting forcibly displaced families.
