Slide 9 - Lifetime Prevalence
Slide notes
While these 5 categories encompass a large amount of existing disorders defined by the DSM 5, there are more categories and diagnoses which you can
learn more about by clicking the button to visit the American Psychological Association’s website.
As an FCM, it is important to understand just how prevalent mental health issues are for the general population and therefore the families we serve. The
estimated lifetime prevalence for mental disorders was measured to be between 28 to 44 percent of the population. This means that 28 to 44 percent of
the population will meet the criteria for at least one disorder in their lifetime.
Next we will discuss 7 specific disorders which FCMs most commonly encounter, including common symptoms and implications for your practice with
these individuals. Again, FCMs do not diagnose disorders, but knowing symptoms and its impact on children and parenting can help you provide a
family the proper service referrals.

Slide 17 - Treatment Options
Slide notes
There are many ways that individuals who live with the aforementioned disorders can improve the quality of their life. Counseling, medication, or a
combination of the two can assist those who struggle daily to manage their disorder. In other cases, coping techniques and self-care are all that is needed
for individuals to live happy and healthy lives with their loved ones.

Slide 18 - Barriers
Slide notes
While the treatment options available to individuals struggling to manage their disorder are numerous, they may not be taken advantage of for various
reasons. Here are a few of the reasons why individuals fail to receive treatment for their disorder. You will notice that nearly half of individuals who fail
to receive treatment do not recognize the need for it. As an FCM, you have an opportunity to advocate for the efficacy of mental health care and the role
it plays in keeping children in safe, stable, and permanent homes. You will continue to learn more about Mental Health and how it impacts parenting
style in the new worker training titled Trauma and its Effects on Children & Families. Once you graduate from New worker cohort, you may also elect
to take an Experienced worker training entitled Caregiver Mental Illness. These trainings will enrich your understanding of the intersection of mental
illness and your responsibilities as an FCM.
