Book excerpt: There is a lack of research in occupational therapy literature on parenting interventions for individuals with mental illness. This systematic review explores parenting skills amongst mothers with depression and low self-efficacy, and how occupational therapy practitioners can assist this population. Maternal depression and low self-efficacy have significant effects on parenting skills and negatively impact children in many ways. Several parenting programs have been found to significantly impact the effects of depression in mothers and on families, as well as improve parental self-efficacy. Occupational therapy practitioners are qualified to address the mental health population and have successfully developed interventions to address mental health issues, including depression. Parenting is a valuable life role for many clients that occupational therapy practitioners can address within the occupational therapy scope of practice. Further research on effective parenting programs is encouraged to address parenting issues within the mental health community.
