New program helps foster parents navigate Kids' mental health care
NCT ID NCT06978959
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests a 5-week program called Family Navigator Plus (FN+) for foster parents of youth aged 6-17 with mental health needs. The program uses video sessions to teach parents how to find and access mental health services. Researchers want to see if parents find the program useful, satisfying, and easy to use. Only 12 parents in Illinois are taking part, so this is a small early test of the idea.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
Active substance
Family Navigator Plus (FN+) educational program
What this could lead to
If successful, this program could give foster parents a practical tool to better support their child's mental health.
What could go wrong
This is a very small, early feasibility study with only 12 participants, so results may not apply to all foster parents. The program may not actually improve child mental health outcomes.
