When Should I Be Concerned About Someone�s Parenting? What Can We Do to Help? Exploring Case Studies in Child Neglect
We all became mental health professionals for a reason: we want to help. However, helping can be complicated, especially when it comes to families. It�s hard to distinguish problematic parenting from child maltreatment. Poverty and substance use disorders can make it more difficult to evaluate a situation. As mental health professionals, it is even more complicated, because we�re legally obligated to report certain suspicions to child protective services. This session was developed to help you understand the considerations you should make when you have a concern about someone�s parenting. We�ll explore common case studies to identify practical strategies for intervention with families that meet our legal and ethical obligations.
