- This qualitative study examined the unique experiences of military parents who sought treatment for their child’s behavioral or emotional challenges. 22 parents were interviewed about the barriers they faced to accessing treatment for their child and the strategies they used to overcome these barriers. 3 overarching topics were identified through thematic analysis. Overall, while frequent relocation presented challenges for families seeking to establish and maintain behavioral health treatment, parents reported using their advocacy skills to access treatment for their child.
