This book explores how professionals can support parenting more effectively in families who are affected by parental mental health difficulties and/or substance misuse. It considers the prevalence of these issues, as well as the policy and legislative context, and discusses current UK service responses.
Drawing on research, this book presents a "whole family" approach, with pointers and examples of how to assess need, keep families together where possible and still safeguard children and young people in such circumstances.
The book also reviews the potential impact on children and families of parental mental health and substance misuse problems. It considers the concept of resilience and factors that can bolster the ability of families to meet their children's needs and improve their lives. It also examines the barriers to effective support for families and what is necessary to overcome them.
