Working with Black and Minority Ethnic Parents of Teenagers
Written by Charanjit Kang (8 pages A4). 2007
Based on findings from a three year project undertaken to identify the support needs of black and ethnic minority parents. Focuses on meeting the needs of those helping children to negotiate the transition from childhood to adulthood, although much of the advice will be equally relevant to work with parents of children at any age. Particular attention is paid to recognising the specific challenges that BME parents have to meet on top of those faced by any parent with a teenager; planning and developing parenting services so that they genuinely appeal to all sectors of the community; avoiding cultural pitfalls that cause services to fail to reach the people they are aimed at; identifying and reaching isolated communities; reaching fathers effectively and avoiding cultural stereotypes of gender roles, and the potential of the voluntary, community and private sectors both as partners and providers.
