Engaging Parents in Mental Health Services: A Qualitative Study of Community Health Workers’ Strategies in High Poverty Urban Communities

by

Authors: Erika L. Gustafson, Davielle Lakind, Angela L. Walden, Dana Rusch, and Marc S. Atkins

This study investigates the utility of a school-based mental health service model using community health workers to implement early intervention programs in high poverty urban communities amongst K-4 children  and their parents. Findings of this study indicate that CHWs are able to identify and implement mental health interventions for school-aged children and their families.
