Join the Global Parenting Initiative (GPI) for an engaging webinar exploring how parenting and ECD interventions can be integrated into existing government health, education, and social protection systems. Drawing on real-world implementation experiences, speakers will discuss the opportunities and challenges of institutionalising programmes, securing sustainable financing, strengthening the workforce, and maintaining quality while expanding coverage.

On June 23, a webinar will explore how parent and caregiver support can be placed at the center of efforts to end violence against children ahead of the Second Global Ministerial Conference in Manila. Building on momentum from the 2024 Global Ministerial Conference, participants will review progress, examine evidence on parenting support commitments, and discuss strategies to strengthen government pledges, increase financing, and advance universal parenting support.

The UNICEF Caring for the Caregiver intervention uses simple behaviour change strategies to help parents feel calm, confident, and supported in their caregiving and to build stronger connections with their children and families. The intervention was evaluated in 6 countries and found to be beneficial for caregiver mental health, social support, and parenting stress. We are hosting a 3-part webinar series on the research findings, country reflections, lessons from the CFC training and adaptation across contexts, and considerations for the future. This third webinar will focus on considerations for the future including UNICEF implementation vision, policy maker evidence needs and ensuring equity in partnerships and a priority setting session. Language interpretation will be available in Arabic, French, and Spanish.
