The Millennium Cohort Study (MCS) is a multi-disciplinary research project following the lives of around 19,000 children born in the UK in 2000/1. Four surveys of MCS cohort members have been carried out so far, the first of which was when the baby was aged 9 months. This report provides an overview of statistics, from MCS dataset 1 and other comparable data sources, about the attitudes, experiences and challenges faced by new parents in each of the 4 countries of the UK. It includes: parental attitudes to child rearing; maternal post-natal attachment; parental mental health; domestic abuse; parental alcohol consumption; and problems experienced by parents during the first few months. It also sheds some light on parental experiences of professional support.

All to often mental health services ignore the fact that clients have children and may have parenting support needs. Looks at the work of the Goldenhill parental support service, run jointly by Greater Glasgow Primary Care NHS Trust and West Dunbartonshire local authority. The team is multi-disciplinary and provides care and support to clients aged 16-65 years who have mental health problems, focusing on clients with severe and enduring mental illness. The project also offers training for child welfare and mental health staff through the Department of Health-sponsored training resource Crossing Bridges.
