An Australian adaptation of the Strengthening Families Program: Parent and child mental health outcomes from a pilot study

The current study is unique in identifying similar outcomes for shorter and longer versions of the intervention. It is recommended that the 8 ‐session Australian version is examined in a larger randomised controlled trial where children present with behavioural and emotional problems.
