An Emotional Health Curriculum (EHC) was developed to promote positive mental health in primarily Hispanic elementary school-aged children. In order to further expand the EHC, the mothers' experiences with the curriculum were examined. Eighteen mothers participated in two focus groups. Mothers reported that they valued this curriculum as a preventive program. Importantly, all mothers wished to extend their involvement to not only assisting their child in completing the curriculum homework but also attending a proposed parenting program. This study provides preliminary evidence that mothers embraced the EHC as an accessible community mental health service for their children and sought greater involvement.
情感健康课程(EHC)旨在促进主要为西班牙裔的小学生的积极心理健康。为了进一步扩大 EHC,研究了母亲们对课程的体验。18 位母亲参加了两个焦点小组。母亲们报告说,她们非常重视这个课程作为一个预防计划。重要的是,所有的母亲都希望不仅能帮助孩子完成课程作业,还能参加一个拟议的育儿项目,从而进一步参与进来。这项研究初步证明,母亲们将 EHC 视为一种可及的社区儿童心理健康服务,并希望更多地参与其中。
