Parenting For Lifelong Health

Parenting for Lifelong Health (PLH) is a charity (UK registration #1200313) committed to providing freely available, evidence-based parenting programmes to every parent, everywhere with the ultimate aim of preventing violence against children and improving child learning, health, and wellbeing. In collaboration with UNICEF, the World Health Organization, and academic and non-profit partners, we have developed and tested a suite of open access, non-commercialised in-person, remote, digital, and multimedia parenting programmes for the Global South. These programmes have been rigorously tested in 15 randomised controlled trials demonstrating positive results across multiple child and family outcomes. Our programmes are currently being delivered in over 40 low- and middle-income countries across Africa, Asia, Europe, Latin America, and the Caribbean. Since our inception in 2011, we have reached over 300,000 families through our in-person programmes. We also recently co-led the interagency COVID-19 Playful Parenting Emergency Response which provided evidence-informed parenting resources to over 210.5 million people during the pandemic. Parenting for Lifelong Health is also a core member of the Global Initiative to Support Parents which aims to provide universal access to evidence-based parenting programmes globally.
