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.

Bipolar disorder is an umbrella term which encapsulates two distinct diagnoses. While both diagnoses include episodes of mania and depression, the

degree to which one experiences mania is the distinguishing factor. Bipolar Disorder 1 is diagnosed when an individual experiences at least one manic

episode along with meeting other diagnostic criteria, while Bipolar Disorder 2 has less elevated manic episodes called “hypomania.” Here you can see

common symptoms and implications for your practice. When you are ready, click next.

Schizophrenia is a psychotic disorder which is best known for the presence of delusions and hallucinations. It is a common mistake for individuals to

confuse Schizophrenia with Dissociative Identity Disorder. People with Schizophrenia do not possess multiple personalities, they may simply

hallucinate voices that do not belong to anyone. In some cases, individuals with Schizophrenia will smoke tobacco in order to diminish their symptoms.

Here you can see common symptoms and implications for your practice. When you are ready, click next.

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.
