Parents

When parents are experiencing challenges with their Mental Health, it can often result in difficulties with the practical day-to-day aspects of childcare.

This was the one focus for a family referral, who were both experiencing severe challenges with their Mental Health – and the mother being admitted to the hospital for additional support.

Despite the mother not being able to physically attend their Family Group Conference, a key consideration was ensuring that her voice and views were heard and influenced the plans the family put together.

Through our work with the family, they were able to come together, communicate, and devise a safe plan for the duration of the mother’s admission, and following her discharge.

We were pleased to see the mother attend a subsequent review meeting and celebrate the positive impact that had been felt.
