This study utilized Q methodology to explore the hopes of parents in an Appalachian County in Ohio in relation to the mental health counseling treatment provided to their children. Twenty-six parents whose children received mental health counseling services in the identified county sorted 31 statements. The sorts were analyzed using and unrotated principle components analysis solution. Sorts loading on more than one factor were manually deflagged from the analysis resulting in three viewpoints being identified. Statements were also collected from parent participants during the sorting process. Analysis suggests parents in this Appalachian County have varied hopes for their children in mental health counseling services. These hopes simultaneously challenge and support some traditional beliefs about Appalachian residents highlight the continued need for mental health counseling professionals to invest effort in understanding the hopes of area parents. Implications for counselors and future research are discussed.
