Obtaining Stakeholder Consensus on the Core Components of a Parent Support and Training Model for Parents of Children with Serious Emotional Disturbances
Parent-to-parent peer interventions are nationally recognized as an important service within children's community-based mental health systems of care. Despite rapid growth, clearly defined models of professional parent services for statewide application do not exist. In this study, concept mapping was used to achieve stakeholder consensus on the core components of the Parent Support and Training (PST) peer intervention model developed within the Kansas community mental health system. Participants rated the importance and observed frequency of 49 distinct statements related to the service and sorted them into conceptual groups. Analyses reflected a high level of agreement across stakeholders on statements identified as most important and most frequently demonstrated in PST services statewide.
