Family Navigator Plus for Foster Parents
This study is testing a 5-week educational program called Family Navigator Plus (FN+) designed to help foster parents better understand their child's mental health needs and find services. You might be able to join if you are a foster parent of a youth aged 6-17 with mental health needs, have adopted a child from foster care, live in Illinois, speak English or Spanish, and have internet access for video calls. The researchers want to see how satisfied parents are with the program, how useful they find it, and how easy it is to participate. We don't have information on the current recruitment status.
