Experimental Treatment

Active Control

Group I: Parent Peer Navigation (PPN) by Family Run OrganizationExperimental Treatment1 Intervention

In this arm, families receive PPN services from a trained provider with lived experience whose role is to effectively engage parents/caregivers in necessary treatment for their children by helping them connect with assessment, treatment and community-based resources and prepare them to independently navigate the child serving system, community-based resources, and ongoing opportunities for support once the PPN is no longer involved. PPN providers use the foundational competencies and skills to educate, inform and support families who are just entering the child-serving systems due to emerging behavioral health issues of their child.

Group II: Resources provided by Family Support OrganizationActive Control1 Intervention

The active comparator is service provided by Family Support Organizations (FSOs), which provide information and resources for families about disabilities, special education and other services as well as workshops and parent support groups. Unlike PPN services, FSO staff members are not "veteran caregivers" of a child with mental health challenges, do not provide personalized service delivery, do not provide a comprehensive assessment of family needs, and do not prepare families to make use of services through support for their initial and continued involvement in them. Finally, whereas PPNs participate in comprehensive training and coaching, training for FSO staff tends to be more general and consists primarily of being aware of local resources to which families may be referred.
