Abstract: Parent support groups are a widely adopted form of child abuse and neglect prevention. Parents Anonymous began as a family-strengthening organization and launched a parent support program that provides direct services to parents to improve parenting and coping skills, strengthen social connections, and build resiliency. A quasi-experimental design was used to examine the effectiveness of Parents Anonymous in improving outcomes in child safety and permanency in two large California counties.
