Abstract
ABSTRACTThis study explored occupational therapists’ (OTs’) perceptions of how they support the parenting role of mental health clients. Qualitative data were provided by eight OTs in the United Kingdom, five in a focus group and three in individual interviews. Framework Analysis of the data generated four themes: “OT practice,” “uncertainty about the role of adult mental health workers,” “fitting into the health and social care network,” and “uncertainty about the necessity to be an expert on parenting.” There was uncertainty about what support should include and whether adult mental health OTs can give it. Recommendations were made to change guidelines and training.
