Evaluating the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on mental health in vulnerable groups such as children and adolescents has become an immediate priority. The aim of this study is to evaluate the impact of COVID-19 pandemic on use of mental health resources namely 1) prescriptions of psychotropic medications and 2) mental health-related outpatient visits, hospitalizations and emergency department visits in children and adolescents in France. Secondary aim is to evaluate the impact of the pandemic on episodes of fatal and non-fatal self-harm episodes in the same population.

This study will evaluate a peer service program for caregivers of youth struggling with mental illness using a program developed by the National Alliance on Mental Illness (NAMI) called NAMI Basics. This peer service program for caregivers was adapted from their successful and empirically supported model for caregivers of adult children with mental illness (Family-to-Family). The child-focused intervention, NAMI Basics, is a six-class curriculum focused on increasing caregiver knowledge about mental illness, empowering parents to advocate for their children across service systems, and introducing skills that assist in family problem-solving and communication. The current study is a randomized effectiveness trial of NAMI Basics. Caregivers who are parenting youth with a mental illness (N = 175) referred to the NAMI Basics program through natural referral routes will be given the option to participate in the study, and if interested, randomly assigned to either an immediate NAMI Basics classes (Wave A) or an 8-week delay condition (Wave B), followed by initiation of the NAMI Basics class.
