KEEP supports effective intergenerational interactions between caregivers and youth through peer-led parenting support groups. Participants discuss and practice trauma-informed parenting strategies in group, utilize skills in structured interactions with youth, and return to report on successes and challenges. KEEP groups support youth interactions for a variety of caregivers: informal kinship, resource/foster, and adoptive parents of youth ages 2+. KEEP is an evidence-based practice with research outcomes showing that effective intergenerational interactions result in fewer behavioral and emotional challenges for youth, reduced caregiver stress, and increased placement stability.
