LYPFT
Parental Mental Health: The impact in Children:
The aim of this training is to explore the impact of mental health problems on parenting capacity to respond to the developmental needs of children and young people. The training will provide an understanding of how symptoms of mental illness and effects of medication might impact on parenting capacity.
The training recognises the Think Family agenda and recognises and promotes the importance of a whole-family approach, built on the principles of 'Reaching out’, concentrating on individual strengths and interventions, promoting mental health and recovery, sustaining families and promoting inclusion.
Key elements of the training are to understand the process of assessing risk to children and young people and emphasises the importance of multiagency collaboration, assessment and interventions to support parents and their children. It also considers the demands on children and young people who occupy the role of carer and how this may lead to fewer opportunities to have fun and build friendships, disruption of education, educational underachievement and reduced life chances. There is an expectation to act as a 'grown up' and carer at home but treated like a child at school.
The training is designed to support what is already undertaken in mandatory safeguarding children level 3 training. With a specific emphasis, however, on the impact of parents and carers mental health and needs, on the children they are responsible for.
This session will be delivered face to face.
