What You Need to Know Before You Apply
What is the purpose of this trial?
The goal of this study is to learn if the New Beginnings Podcast can help children whose parents are going through a divorce or separation. The podcast shares parenting strategies that have been shown to help in past in-person and online programs. This study will also look at how easy it is for parents to use the podcast and how helpful they find it.
The main questions it aims to answer are:
1. Do parents find the podcast easy to use, helpful, and relevant?
2. Does listening to the podcast improve children's mental health?
3. Does the podcast help parents build stronger relationships with their children and reduce conflict between parents?
Researchers will compare families who use the podcast to families on a waitlist to see if the podcast makes a difference.
Participants will:
1. Listen to podcast episodes over the course of the study
2. Answer questions about their experiences with the podcast
3. Complete surveys about their child's well-being, their parenting, and family relationships
This study will include 80 parents and their children.

Experimental Treatment
Waitlist (Control Group): Seven weeks after the initial survey, parents will complete a post-test survey. Upon completion of the post-test survey or withdrawal from the study, all podcast episodes will be made available to the parent.
Parents in the intervention arm will receive access to five podcast episodes based on the original New Beginnings Program. The episodes teach core parenting skills designed to improve parent-child relationship quality, enhance communication, and reduce children's exposure to interparental conflict. Each episode includes both didactic instruction and audio demonstrations of parent-child interactions. Parents are encouraged to listen to one episode per week. Listening activity is tracked, but parents do not receive financial incentives for completing episodes. Episodes range from 10 to 25 minutes in length, and parents are encouraged to adjust the playback speed as needed to suit their preferences.
