When service users with mental health needs also are parents social work, along with other professions, often has tended to separate these roles, with unhelpful consequences. This article reports research which looked at the views of parents with mental health needs concerning professional responses, focusing particularly on social work. It examines their experiences of parenting and mental health difficulties in relation to social workers' responses to these two areas of their lives, and suggests that social workers must address aspects together to provide appropriate responses.

Detailed ethnographic study examining the practice of a local authority rehabilitation and community support unit. Describes the development of the unit, looking in turn at patterns of care, use of the concepts of time and activity in rehabilitation, the location of the unit in the community, and the people who use and work in the service. Considers wider issues for service development in mental health provision and argues that services of this type may make a contribution to the development of care in the community.
