Both programs were cognitive-behavioral mentoring
interventions designed to improve child behavior and family functioning among
8- to 12-year olds with mental health disorders, and their primary caregivers.
One program used one-on-one mentoring and the other a group-mentoring model.
In the program using one-on-one mentoring, there were
significant differences between the intervention and control groups on measures
of child behavior, parenting stress, perceived social support, and attachment
to parents.
In the program with group mentoring, although there were
significant improvements on measures of social problem solving and behavior
problems, there were no improvements on measures of attachment to parents and
social skills among children in the intervention group, compared with the
control group.
