ANS: A
The need for support is evident. Referrals are made when working with families whose needs are unmet. A support group, such as through the National Alliance on Mentally Illness (NAMI), will provide the parents with support of others with similar experiences and with whom they can share feelings and experiences. The distracters are less relevant to providing a network of support.
