Overview
Research
indicates that 1 in 4 adults will experience mental ill health some time
in their life and a quarter to a half of these will be parents. Parental
mental illness can have an adverse effect on a child�s mental health
& development. Investigations into child deaths have indicated a
strong correlation between adult mental health, child abuse and child
fatality.

This
course aims to raise awareness and promote better understanding and
skills for staff working in both mental health and child welfare
services. To encourage more effective collaboration for the benefit of
mentally ill parents and children and provide an integrated, ecological
model for practice in which mental ill health is set within a social ,
family and child development context.
