Description
A Practical Guide to Early Intervention and Family Support is a comprehensive handbook for practitioners working with families affected by parental mental health problems or substance misuse. It provides early intervention techniques, effective support strategies, and assessment tools to ensure the best outcomes for these vulnerable families. The book considers the concept of resilience and effective family support, as well as assessing policy context and possible barriers to support. It offers practical advice on safeguarding children, minimising negative impact, and keeping families together where possible. Drawing on key research, this third edition has been fully updated to reflect developments in policy and services. This book is essential reading for professionals involved in providing services to families, as well as service commissioners and academics interested in supporting children and families in these circumstances.
