Problems and Goals Identified by Primary Caregivers of Children with Mental Health Problems During a Problem-solving Intervention

Abstract

Building Our Solutions and Connections intervention focused on enhancing problem-solving skills of 44 primary caregivers of children with mental health problems. Problems and goals were identified by individual caregivers during a nine week problem-solving intervention that included a face-to-face one-hour intervention followed by eight half-hour telephone interventions. The problem identified most often was child behavior (43 times). A summary of the problems and goals selected by these primary caregivers has been described.
