Study Notes

CAMH Help Seeking Model for Guardians

CAMH stigma impacts guardians’ willingness to seek mental health services for children.
Four types of stigma identified:
- Perceived Stigma related to CAMH Etiology (Soc1)
- Perceptions of CAMH Services (Soc2)
- Stigma directed towards children exhibiting CAMH issues (Soc3)
- Stigma affecting families of those with CAMH problems (Soc4)

Hypotheses Overview

Hypothesis 1: High levels of CAMH stigma correlate with low willingness of guardians to utilize accessible services at UCH.
Hypothesis 2: Guardians with poor wellness experience reduced willingness to seek CAMH services.
Hypothesis 3: High CAMH stigma combined with poor guardian wellness leads to challenges in recognizing children's mental health issues, resulting in decreased perceived need for services and lower willingness to seek help.
Hypothesis 4: Increased life stressors faced by guardians are linked to lower perceived need for CAMH services, further diminishing their willingness to use accessible services.

Key Variables

Knowledge of CAMH Problems: Understanding mental health issues affecting children (Indiv4).
CAMH Reported Symptoms: Symptoms experienced by children that indicate mental health problems (Indiv8).
Recognition of CAMH Problems: Guardians' ability to identify mental health issues (Indiv5).
Perceived Need for CAMH Services: Guardians' belief in the necessity of seeking services (Indiv6).
Willingness to Use Accessible CAMH Services: Readiness to engage with available mental health services for children.

Individual and Global Context

Guardian Wellness: Overall health and well-being of guardians affect their engagement with CAMH services.
Global Psychological Function: Broader measures of psychological health influencing guardians’ actions (Indiv1).
Subjective Well-Being: Personal evaluation of life satisfaction and emotional health (Indiv2).
Attitude about the Future: Guardians' outlook on future prospects for themselves and their children (Indiv3).

Insights on Service Utilization

Barriers due to stigma and personal wellness significantly hinder guardians from recognizing and addressing CAMH issues in children.
Competing life stressors further complicate the decision-making process regarding seeking help, leading to a detrimental cycle of disengagement from available resources.
