Abstract
When service users with mental health needs also are parents social work, along with other professions, often has tended to separate these roles, with unhelpful consequences. This article reports research which looked at the views of parents with mental health needs concerning professional responses, focusing particularly on social work. It examines their experiences of parenting and mental health difficulties in relation to social workers' responses to these two areas of their lives, and suggests that social workers must address both aspects together to provide appropriate responses.Keywords
