Parent and Guardian Experiences with Mental Health Services for Children and Youth

Summary

During the fall of 2019, the HQCA conducted in-depth interviews with parents and guardians with a child between the ages of eight and 22 who required addiction and mental health (AMH) services in the last three years. This report highlights the experiences of these parents and guardians while navigating their child or youth’s AMH journey.

Informing improvements
This work was completed in partnership with Alberta Health, and is intended to inform improvements in the flow of care and connections to supports in the community during the AMH journey for children and youth.
