dc.description.abstractCaregivers who provide care for an involuntary adult with a mental health diagnosis often experience significant emotional and psychological distress. Limited recognition from healthcare providers frequently leads to the marginalization of parents and families, raising concerns about their overlooked experiences in the healthcare system. Despite growing awareness of the importance of family involvement in involuntary adult mental health, there has been little effort in healthcare systems to integrate the support of families due to complex systemic barriers, with confidentiality being a primary concern. There is limited research for Canadian service providers on how to make their practice more inclusive for clients and families without breaching confidentiality. To address this gap, a comprehensive review of the research and literature on this topic was conducted, resulting in ethically informed recommendations for service providers. The final contribution of this project includes a draft manuscript discussing these recommendations to inform service providers of parents' perspectives and to offer insight into how families can be supported in the treatment of involuntary adults without breaching confidentiality.
