Sammanfattning
Recent prevalence of parental support programs in Sweden, such as Community
Parent Education (COPE), is an effect of governmental efforts to promote
children’s psychosocial wellbeing. In Sweden COPE is considered of
special relevance for immigrant parents. However, the content of the COPE
manual undergoes several alterations as it travels to Sweden where it finally
reaches its recipients. This article explores what happens with the manuals
substance as it is subjected to these cultural transformations. We show that,
while the manual is principally relied on as a primary guide for programs,
some cultural adjustments of its content do take place in order to reach the
immigrant parents. The study also shows that most parents find COPE useful
as it helps them feel more confident in their role as parents.
