Working with families in which parents have problems with alcohol
or other drugs can be complex, stressful and intense. This
ground-breaking guide helps human service workers to better support
parents struggling to overcome substance use problems. It draws
together the perspectives of professionals from alcohol and other
drug treatment centres, child and family welfare groups as well as
leading researchers in the fields of addiction and child
protection, and also provides practical strategies for
understanding and overcoming common practice challenges. In this
book you will find guidelines for: developing positive
relationships with parents and children; identifying what you need
to know when undertaking an assessment; ensuring the safety of
families; improving family life; assisting parents when children
are in care; and focusing on your own self-care and professional
development. This is an essential resource for both students and
professionals working in this challenging field. 'The optimism,
wisdom and insight collated in this work... makes this required
reading for all of those whose working lives coincide with
substance-using parents or their children.' - Professor David Best,
Chair, Sheffield Addiction Recovery Research Group; founder and
co-chair of Recovery Academy Australia
