Parental mental health problems and substance misuse affect a significant number of families in the UK. Many of these families are living in poverty or on low incomes. In economically and socially challenging times, additional stresses are placed on these already vulnerable families. There is a need for services to ensure that children and families receive support that is based on a full understanding of their day-to-day experience and the potential impacts on children's development and life chances. This book considers the concept of resilience and effective family support. Assessing the policy context and possible barriers to support, it looks at assessment of need, safeguarding children, minimising negative impact, and most importantly, keeping families together where possible. Drawing on key research on the risks and impacts, the book demonstrates the need for a joined-up approach from a range of adult and children's services.
