Participants were parents living in temporary accommodation with self-identified difficulties related to parenting an index child aged 2\u201311\u2009years. An evidence-based programme (\u2018Empowering Parents, Empowering Communities\u2019) was adapted for delivery with the target population in London, UK. We assessed feasibility in terms of session attendance rate, intervention completion rate and potential for impact on a range of parent-reported outcomes measures. Acceptability and appropriateness were examined by a user satisfaction measure and qualitative interviews. The intervention was delivered across three group cohorts ( N\u2009=\u200915). Thirteen parents completed the programme (including one parent who required two attempts). We found improvements in child behavioural difficulties, parenting knowledge and practices, while parental well-being and social support were unchanged. Participants were highly satisfied overall, with indications that the peer-led model mitigated negative expectancies of services and normalized experiences of parenting in challenging conditions. Parental self-care and \u2018the good enough parent\u2019 were strongly endorsed topics, although some content (e.g. timeout) was deemed impractical. These promising findings warrant further testing under controlled conditions.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1177\/1359104520926247","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2020,6,1]],"date-time":"2020-06-01T03:04:17Z","timestamp":1590980657000},"page":"860-876","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/sage-journals-update-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":10,"title":["\u2018Every day is hard, being outside, but you have to do it for your child\u2019: Mixed-methods formative evaluation of a peer-led parenting intervention for homeless families"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"25","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-9864-4821","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Caroline","family":"Bradley","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"The Tavistock and Portman NHS Foundation Trust, UK"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Crispin","family":"Day","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Centre for Parent and Child Support, South London and Maudsley NHS Foundation Trust, UK"},{"name":"Child and Adolescent Mental Health Service Research Unit, Institute of Psychiatry, Psychology and Neuroscience, King\u2019s College London, UK"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Caroline","family":"Penney","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Centre for Parent and Child Support, South London and Maudsley NHS Foundation Trust, UK"},{"name":"Child and Adolescent Mental Health Service Research Unit, Institute of Psychiatry, Psychology and Neuroscience, King\u2019s College London, UK"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Daniel","family":"Michelson","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Psychology, University of Sussex, UK"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2020,6,1]]},"reference":[{"key":"bibr1-1359104520926247","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1037\/1040-3590.5.2.137"},{"key":"bibr2-1359104520926247","first-page":"223","volume":"52","author":"Barlow J.","year":"2002","journal-title":"British Journal of General Practitioners"},{"key":"bibr3-1359104520926247","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1097\/00004703-200010000-00007"},{"key":"bibr4-1359104520926247","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1001\/jama.1996.03540080062031"},{"key":"bibr5-1359104520926247","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1177\/0265407595123009"},{"key":"bibr6-1359104520926247","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.4135\/9781849208758.n3"},{"key":"bibr7-1359104520926247","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/s10567-017-0244-3"},{"key":"bibr8-1359104520926247","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1191\/1478088706qp063oa"},{"key":"bibr9-1359104520926247","unstructured":"Centrepoint.
