Inhaltsangabe

Family, Work, and Community Issues for Parents of Children with Mental Health Disabilities provides accessible, internationally researched knowledge regarding the challenges of parenting a child with a mental health disability from a social work perspective.

Situating the care of children with mental health disability within a social justice and disability rights framework, it presents current interdisciplinary theories used to examine the phenomena of caring for a child with a mental health disability. Specifically addressing the facilitators and barriers for parents that support or inhibit their ability to manage their exceptional care with other social roles, it provides current international empirical evidence on how parenting a child with a mental health disability affects and is affected by work, family, and community resources. Chapters explore international policy responses to family caregiving of children with mental health disabilities and discuss how the Covid-19 pandemic and its associated shutdowns affected parents of children with mental health disabilities.

This volume will be required reading for social work educators, students, and professionals. It is also relevant for social work practice with children and families, and researchers, teachers, and practitioners in the fields of social policy, public administration, occupational psychology, and disability studies.
