Project Title: Parent and Caregiver Curriculum
\nProject Description:<\/p>\n
Our goal for this year is to create a curriculum for parents and caregivers on how to best support their child. The COVID-19 pandemic exacerbated the already growing youth mental health crisis. From March to October 2020, the proportion of emergency room visits for mental health-related concerns increased 24% for children aged 5-11 and 31% among adolescents aged 12-17 compared to the same timeframe in 2019. Many parents and caregivers were at a loss of what to do as many of these mental health symptoms were being experienced for the first time.
\nThe intention is to have an educational curriculum designed for parents and caregivers with the idea that by arming parents with this information, we can help parents feel prepared to manage their child\u2019s crisis, take preventative measures to manage their child\u2019s treatment to reduce hospitalizations, and feel empowered to care for their own mental health and experience decreased feelings of burnout. Our plan for our second year of the curriculum is to partner with providers, so that they can help us understand the efficacy of the program. Parents and caregivers in our community will benefit from psychoeducation that is paired with peer support, creating optimal learning and support for our constituency.
\nThe curriculum aims to answer, \u201cWhat are the signs and symptoms of a mood disorder?\u201d and \u201cWhere should you go to look for help?\u201d These resources alongside promoting self-care for parents and caregivers will help them understand decisions around what should be done for their children\u2019s mental health care. Encouraging parents to be co-decision makers in their child\u2019s mental health journey is also crucial to education. A grant from the the Charles and Joan Hermanowski Family Foundation would support our efforts to create this important curriculum for parents and caregivers.<\/p>\n
