The Family Model Handbook: An Integrated Approach to Supporting Mentally Ill Parents and Their Children: Managing the Impact of Parental Mental Health on Children - Softcover
Synopsis
The Family Model offers a conceptual framework to help staff consider the parent, the child and the family as a whole when assessing needs and planning care packages. Its aim is to aid understanding of the complex interplay between mental ill health in parents, the development and mental health of their children, and the relationships within family units affected by mental illness. Originally developed as part of the Department of Health's 'Crossing Bridges' training programme, the model has proved extremely durable and has been extensively refined in the light of developments in the field. Additional principles have been added - including a service dimension to ensure that service provision is explicitly incorporated into thinking and practice, and a culture and community component to ensure that broader factors influencing individuals and impacting family life are also addressed.
The Family Model explores how the mental health and wellbeing of the children and adults in a family where a parent is mentally ill are closely linked in at least three ways. Firstly, a parent's mental health problems can adversely affect the development, and in some cases the safety, of their children. Secondly, growing up with a mentally ill parent can have a negative impact on a person's adjustment in adulthood, including their own transition to parenthood. And thirdly children, particularly those with emotional, behavioural or chronic physical difficulties, can precipitate or exacerbate mental ill health in their parents and carers. The book also identifies that there are risks, stressors and vulnerability factors increasing the likelihood of a poor outcome, as well as strengths, resources and protective factors that enable families to overcome adversity.
