Five focus groups of twenty-eight employed parents and three focus groups of seventeen human resource professionals included participants who were predominantly female, European-American, and middle-aged. A communication boundary management model emerged from transcripts: parents communicated across the boundary between family and work and drew upon past experiences with disclosure and courtesy stigmatization in the workplace as they made decisions about revealing family information to human resource professionals. As parents and human resource staff grew in communication competence from prior experiences, negotiation regarding possible workplace supports progressed to more satisfactory outcomes. Recommendations for mental health service providers include exploring family members' work-life integration experiences and providing information about workplace supports and effective communication strategies.
