ParentingWell: adapting a family-focused practice for parents with mental illness.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

The ParentingWell Practice Approach is a family-focused practice approach for adults who are parents receiving mental health services. The ParentingWell Learning Collaborative (PWLC) was originally developed and tested within the Massachusetts behavioral health service system to prepare and support mental health practitioners in implementing ParentingWell. The purpose of the current study was to systematically adapt ParentingWell, including the PWLC, for further implementation and scaling-out in a new setting with a diverse target population, and address the following question: What are the essential considerations in adapting ParentingWell resources to a diverse, vulnerable, at-risk target population in an urban service delivery context?
