Hello Joy and all,<br> <br>One helpful resource could be BRYCS: Bridging Refugee Youth & Children's Services. It's at <a href="http://www.brycs.org/">www.brycs.org</a>.<br> <br>This website is for agencies that work with immigrant families as well as refugees from all over the world. Some of the information and resources would be relevant to the needs of Asian immigrants and their families. There are a LOT of resources at BRYCS, so click around!<br>

They want to start parenting programs for Asian immigrant family who has children under age 18. They asked me any resources or articles for developing their program. They need a data, or statistics about Asian immigrant families' problem and theoretical model for helping them. According to their clients, one of the most important issues for Asian immigrant families is language and communication barrier. </span></div>
