Coping with Mental Illness in the Family

Coping with Mental Illness in the Family

Up to three quarters of the population know someone with a mental illness, yet many of us are unprepared when someone in the family develops a serious mental health problem. This module aims to address some of the important questions that are posed when illness or potential illness happens and to explore the many ways that people can cope with and support a family member or friend with mental illness.

Loss and the Impact of Family Breakdown on Adolescents

This workshop will look at the impact of parental separation on teenagers and identify behaviours and pressures that might indicate a need for intervention. It will also look at the complexity of parental and familial systems influencing stepfamilies and issues for children in this ‘new system’.

 

Teen Between is a specialised counselling service for young people who are experiencing difficulties as a result of their parents’ separation or family transitions. The service continues to develop its skills and methodology but the overall theoretical perspective is systemic, seeing the young person’s difficulties not only in the context of their family situation and marital breakdown, but also informed by the personal and social transitions of adolescence. Use of video and handouts will be included.
