Predictors and barriers to engagement in caring for children with a mental health diagnosis: A qualitative study of caregivers perception of power.

This study addresses the gaps in the current health care system. Through examining the caregiver's sense of power in their role in mental health care for their children, interventions may be developed to encourage more active involvement in treatment outcomes and more involvement in interventions for the home setting. Moreover, this study highlights the importance of giving insight to providers on how to help families navigate mental health care, communicate more, and include the patient and caregiver in the development of comprehensive treatment plans.
