Family Peer (FP) support is a promising strategy used within children's mental health services to address barriers to accessing and engaging in mental health treatment. However, it has not yet been developed or tested specifically for caregivers of anxious youth. This study gathered perspectives from caregivers who scheduled but did not attend their initial appointment at a specialized pediatric anxiety clinic in a Northeastern city in the United States. We purposely recruited caregivers with either public (Medicaid) or private commercial insurance (provided through an employer). Twelve recruited caregivers completed qualitative interviews to report on barriers and facilitators to accessing mental health services and their perceptions of the potential utility of FP support. They also provided brief quantitative ratings of the utility of different types of support that FPs can provide. Caregivers described significant barriers to accessing care. They shared positive reactions and interest in engaging with FP support. They expressed importance of the FP having a child of similar age and sharing diagnostic features. Themes differed between Medicaid-insured and commercially-insured families. Overall, Medicaid-insured families expressed more interest in engaging with FP support in interviews and provided significantly higher quantitative ratings of the potential utility of FP support for four of six types of support queried. We also observed differences by insurance status for other key themes, including preferences for how they would want the FP to support families and descriptions of how FP support might be most helpful. Results of this study will be used to guide the development of an FP program specifically tailored for caregivers of youth with pediatric anxiety disorders. We also discuss the broader implications of these findings related to the potential of FP support for pediatric anxiety.</p>","PeriodicalId":48362,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Child and Family Studies","volume":"35 2","pages":"302-317"},"PeriodicalIF":2.1,"publicationDate":"2026-02-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC13278483/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148297163","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Foster parents may be especially vulnerable due to elevated ACE exposures and the demands of parenting children with complex needs in high-stakes caregiving contexts. Despite these risks, research examining how ACEs influence perceived relational strain through mentalizing remains limited in foster families. Data was obtained from a randomized controlled trial (RCT) of a psychoeducational mentalizing intervention for 89 foster parents. A mediation analysis tested mentalizing as an indirect influence on links between parental ACEs and perceived relational strain (as a key dimension of parenting stress). ACEs were associated with increased pre-mentalizing scores, reflecting a reduction in mentalizing capabilities (<i>b</i> = 0.098, <i>p</i> < .05), which in turn was associated with higher levels of perceived relational strain (<i>b</i> = 8.61, <i>p</i> < .001). Bootstrapping (with 5,000 samples) confirmed a statistically significant indirect effect (<i>b</i> = 0.84, 95% CI [0.06, 1.62], <i>p</i> = .034). The contributions of ACEs and mentalizing to perceived relational strain were asymmetrical; ACEs explained 5% of the variance in mentalizing (<i>R</i>² = 0.05), whereas ACEs and mentalizing together explained 31.6% of the variance in parenting stress (<i>R</i>² = 0.316). Sensitivity analyses supported the temporal ordering of variables through longitudinal design.

Asian American young adults may learn culturally specific views of mental health and help-seeking through the family, which is the primary socialization context for children. Parental mental health socialization, a central mechanism through which parents transmit messages about mental health and help-seeking to children, is designed to shape the way Asian American young adults understand and respond to distress. This study developed and tested the Parental Mental Health Socialization - Parental Responses (PMHS-PR) scale, one of the first measures of parental processes of mental health socialization among a sample of 486 Asian American young adults. Using a split sample approach, exploratory factor analysis first determined the factor structure of the measure on Sample 1 (<i>n</i> = 243), followed by a confirmatory factor analysis on Sample 2 (<i>n</i> = 243). Correlations between derived factors with measures of stigma attitudes and mental health outcomes were examined. Results revealed a bifactor structure with one general factor of parental mental health socialization and five specific factors: Parental Stigma Toward Youth, Parental Supportiveness, Enduring and Overcoming Distress, Hiding Mental Health from Others, and Parental Silence. The PMHS-PR showed good internal consistency reliability and concurrent validity with depression and somatic symptoms and stigma attitudes towards mental illness. Findings indicate that the PMHS-PR is a multidimensional, psychometrically sound scale that measures broadband and narrowband dimensions of parent mental health socialization among Asian Americans that are linked to salient young adult mental health outcomes. This signals its importance in identifying familial influences that centrally shape mental health attitudes and help-seeking among Asian American young adults.</p><p><strong>Supplementary information: </strong>The online version contains supplementary material available at 10.1007/s10826-026-03259-4.</p>","PeriodicalId":48362,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Child and Family Studies","volume":"35 3","pages":"767-781"},"PeriodicalIF":2.1,"publicationDate":"2026-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC12953297/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147357171","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Additionally, we examined the role of socioeconomic status (SES) and acculturation on the interaction between parenting, adversity, and child mental health to examine how contextual systems may influence the family-level system. Our sample was comprised of 308 mother-child dyads from racially, ethnically, and economically diverse backgrounds (47.1% had an income falling at or below the 33rd percentile for their county, 79.9% of mothers self-identified as belonging to either a racial or ethnic minoritized group) and included children aged 6-9 (<i>M</i> = 7.74 years, 49.4% male). Results showed that child adversity was associated with increased internalizing and externalizing symptoms. Warm/responsive parenting moderated the link between adversity and externalizing symptoms. When including SES and acculturation as moderators, the associations between adversity, parenting, and child mental health varied in complex ways. Findings highlight the importance of examining factors that promote resiliency across multiple systems and their implications for building interventions with greater relevance, accessibility, and effectiveness for families from diverse backgrounds.</p><p><strong>Supplementary information: </strong>The online version contains supplementary material available at 10.1007/s10826-026-03345-7.</p>","PeriodicalId":48362,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Child and Family Studies","volume":"35 8","pages":"1787-1801"},"PeriodicalIF":2.1,"publicationDate":"2026-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC13469487/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148762386","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
