Women with SMI are involved in childbearing and childrearing, but may have problems with parenting related to symptoms, lack of knowledge and skills, or lack of environmental supports. They may need intensive services to manage their mental illness and to parent to the best of their abilities. Preliminary research suggests that mental health interventions can improve family functioning, but that these services are not widely available in community mental health systems. This paper describes services to help clients who are parents, which includes integration of adult's and children's services, long-term, home-based parent training, and linkage with community supports.
患有严重精神疾病（SMI）的女性会参与生育和养育子女，但可能会因症状、知识和技能缺乏或环境支持不足而在育儿方面出现问题。她们可能需要强化服务来管理自己的精神疾病，并尽最大能力养育子女。初步研究表明，心理健康干预可以改善家庭功能，但这些服务在社区心理健康系统中并未广泛提供。本文介绍了帮助为人父母的客户的服务，包括整合成人和儿童服务、长期的居家父母培训以及与社区支持建立联系。
