This study investigates the stigma associated with mental health service seeking and community settings among children with emotional and behavioral disorders (EBD) and their parents living in rural areas. Parents ( n = 185) rated stigma toward children with EBD and their families in school contexts significantly higher than the other community settings, and they rated stigma related to the context of church significantly lower than the others, with neighborhood and workplace falling in between. Stigma in each of these settings was a significant predictor of perceived service‐seeking stigma. These findings suggest the need for further examination of stigma toward children with EBD and their families in community settings and for additional research investigating service‐seeking stigma and its relationship to service‐seeking behavior and use
