Adult mental health practitioner beliefs about psychosis, parenting, and the role of the practitioner: A Q methodological investigation.

Parenting interventions need to be made more available and accessible to parents experiencing serious mental illness (SMI), such as psychosis. Adult mental health practitioners are willing to incorporate parenting interventions into their work with parents accessing their services, but some lack confidence to do this. These results highlight the importance of equipping practitioners with the skill, knowledge, and confidence to engage in family-focused approaches. Further research needs to involve parents experiencing SMI as well practitioners working in adult mental health services.
