Parents Experiences

This study explores immigrant parents’ emotional experiences in child welfare services as well as parents’ emotional management and their interpretations of the role of emotions in the child welfare system. The analysis revealed that strong negative emotions dominate parents’ experiences and correspond to immigrant-related challenges and factors associated with child welfare involvement. The study suggests that parents perceive that the way child welfare workers interpret their emotions affects the decisions the workers make and how the parents are perceived during the case. The study further highlights ways that parents manage their emotions during cases to prompt favourable outcomes.

Child welfare workers (CWWs) face challenges to engaging families, including initial parental resistance, service plan noncompliance and other barriers. Adopting a motivational interviewing (MI) framework may improve engagement and collaboration between CWWs and parents, thereby leading to better child welfare (CW) outcomes. This comprehensive narrative review identifies the use of MI in CW, the outcomes of MI use and the gaps in the literature. Of the 16 articles that met inclusion criteria for our search, 12 suggested MI’s value in parenting skills, parent/child mental health, retention in services, substance use, and CW recidivism. Four of these studies specifically focused on CWW. Future studies should examine specific CW outcomes such as reunification, parent/child relationships, recidivism and parent/child mental health.
