Abstract

A pilot study of a parenting intervention delivered by an interdisciplinary clinical team improved maternal indices for mothers enrolled in community mental health services. While intervention with this vulnerable and often stigmatized population is very challenging, our program was found to be feasible and acceptable in this community-based setting.
