Many parents in South Africa face difficult obstacles when it comes to parenting. Evidence-based
parenting programmes are a key to success to help parents to work in a more positive way with
their children. In Touwsranten, the evidence-based Parenting for Lifelong Health (PLH)
programmes have been implemented. Although these programmes have been tested in randomised
controlled trials, the implementation process of the programmes has not been explored. This
research aimed to explore the implementation of the PLH parenting programmes using the four
phases of the EPIS framework. EPIS refers to exploration, preparation, implementation and
sustainment phases.
