Reports on progress of the Icarus Project which investigated the nature and level of support in the community for children and parents in families where there is parental mental illness. The problem of providing satisfactory responses for such families is recognised not only across Europe but also in Australia as an issue of widespread concern. Discusses how the implications of the final report and the practical applications of such a model offer Australia the opportunity to redefine how adult mental health and child welfare services can work together with vulnerable families.
