It can be particularly difficult for parents with mental health problems and their children to get accessible, acceptable and effective support for the whole family. Different family members may present to different services and therefore it is important that services offer an open door into a system of joined-up support at every point of entry. This film is about one mother’s experience of seeking support for herself and her family. It sets out in practice how different services worked together with the family to provide the support that was needed.
