“…Research across the life course and across family caregivers of different populations of people with disabilities indicate that peer-led programs result in significant positive changes in terms of action and caregiving well-being (Acri et al, 2015;Dykens, Fisher, Taylor, Lambert, & Miodrag, 2014;Heller & Caldwell, 2006;Marquez & Ramírez García, 2013;Narr & Kemmery, 2015). However, research also highlights the limitations of these programs in terms of cultural relevance or responsiveness to the unique experiences of ethnic minorities in the social service system (Barrio & Dixon, 2012;Smith et al, 2014).…”

“…Family support program evaluations with published outcome data relevant to mental and behavioral health and functioning were identified from previous reviews and by a literature search of studies published from 2009 to 2014 that cited previous reviews. We identified one new family support intervention19 and updated the findings for several programs with studies published since the earlier reviews 20–23…”

Family support programs aim to improve parent wellbeing and parenting as well as adolescent mental and behavioral health by addressing the needs of parents of adolescents experiencing or at risk for mental health problems. Family support programs can be part of the treatment for adolescents diagnosed with mental or behavioral health problems, or family support programs can be delivered as prevention programs designed to prevent the onset or escalation of mental or behavioral health problems. This review discusses the rationale for family support programs and describes the range of services provided by family support programs. The primary focus of the review is on evaluating the effectiveness of family support programs as treatments or prevention efforts delivered by clinicians or peers. Two main themes emerged from the review. First, family support programs that included more forms of support evidenced higher levels of effectiveness than family support programs that provided fewer forms of support. Discussion of this theme focuses on individual differences in client needs and program adaptions that may facilitate meeting diverse needs. Second, family support prevention programs appear to be most effective when serving individuals more in need of mental and behavioral health services. Discussion of this theme focuses on the intensity versus breadth of the services provided in prevention programs. More rigorous evaluations of family support programs are needed, especially for peer-delivered family support treatments.

“…Based upon the extant literature, it is surmised that children and parents living in extreme poverty will manifest a greater severity of mental health problems in comparison to individuals of higher income status. Further, given the bidirectionality of child and parent mental health (Acri et al, 2015; Acri & Hoagwood, 2015), it is surmised that there will be a positive relationship between caregiver depression and child behavior problems.…”

Approximately 22% of children in the United States live in poverty, with high rates of caregiver depression and child disruptive behavior disorders (DBD). The current study aims to explore the relationships between living in extreme poverty and both child and parent mental health. Data are comprised of findings from the first effectiveness study of the 4Rs and 2Ss intervention, in addition to preliminary data from an implementation study currently underway (n = 484). Families with an annual income of less than $9,999 reported significantly greater child DBD scores and prevalence of clinically significant levels of caregiver depressive symptoms compared to income levels over $10,000. Findings support the recommendation for parental mental health to be attended to within the context of child mental health services.
