  • Summary

    There is much diversity in the models of services for parents who have a mental illness, but a visit to programmes in several countries shows that all service models share a unity of purpose. This chapter describes five such programmes in three countries. The Family Legal Support Project in Marlboro, Massachusetts addresses the need that parents with a mental illness have in negotiating a complex legal system. In New Haven, Connecticut, a fruitful partnership has developed between two organizations who had previously served their own specific community groups for many years. The Children in Families Affected by Mental Illness Project in Sydney, Australia, overcame initial barriers existing between adult mental health and child mental health services. The Parents in Partnership Project in Melbourne illustrates the process of building step by step. The Building Bridges Project in Lewisham, UK illustrates how serendipity works.
