Talking with parents, a training manual for trust-based dialogue with migrant parents [Gothenburg, Sweden]
The City of Gothenburg (Sweden) developed a toolbox to support frontline workers in communicating with migrant parents. The toolbox s aim is to develop and strengthen preventive and promotive approaches to work against violence in a family context by enabling trust-building dialogues between migrant parents and frontline workers. The toolbox is supported by awareness-raising material for frontline workers and migrant parents. The toolbox contains 7 modules: parenthood, migration and identity; cultural awareness; trust in society; children s rights; roles within the family; domestic violence and honour-related violence and oppression. The modules provide knowledge to parents about their rights to receive support from frontline welfare services, especially their rights to parental support. The team of the Migrant Families Toolbox also released a toolbox for unaccompanied migrant children89.
