The Health & Social Care Board have been improving services for parents with mental health issues and their children via the work of Think Family NI.
There have been significant resources invested in working with Health & Social Care Trusts and interagency partners to raise the awareness of the impact parental mental health can have upon others within the family i.e. children, young people and adult carers.
The Family Model has been the conceptual tool used as a framework to demonstrate the diversity of individual needs within families across the lifespan.
The outcomes-based approach to the evaluation of this pilot and the evaluation of the Think Family Support Worker is available to view online.
