The main questions it aims to answer are: * What is the feasibility and acceptability of SPYKids compared to services as usual? * What are the changes in child mental health between the SPYKids group compared with the SAU group? Participants will * Fill out questionnaires at baseline, immediately post-program, approximately one month after the baseline assessment, and three months after the baseline assessment * Meet with a parent coach in a virtual 90-minute session to discuss coping strategies relevant to their identified concerns Researchers will compare participants in the SPYKids group with participants in the Services as Usual group to see if there are changes in child well-being, parent well-being, and parent self-efficacy.

Interventions
SPYKids
SSIs will be tailored to the parent areas of primary concern as identified in the pre-questionnaire. Participants will meet with the parent coach in a virtual 90-minute session to discuss coping strategies relevant to the identified concerns. Content will be informed by the baseline questionnaire and include psychoeducation with an explanation of 1 or 2 skills to manage a primary mental health issue (e.g., Emotion Regulation, Distress Tolerance, Communication), a brief practice of the skills (as appropriate), and an action plan for the family to apply the skills at home. Families will also be provided with recommendations for relevant services from our family-focused resource list. Please note, the session length may be extended to 120 minutes if an interpreter is required in order to provide equal opportunity for understanding the session content.
Services as Usual (SAU)
Participants will receive links to the Manitoba 211 websites and a local organization's resource website with resources for adults and children. This resource is used to locate crisis, distress, and support phone lines, and counselling. Following completion of the 3-month survey, participants will receive a lab-developed comprehensive list of resources (also provided to participants in the SPYKids arm).
