Piecing the puzzle together: raising young people when mental illness is part of your life

This booklet is for people living with a mental health problem or mental illness, whose children are aged between 2 and 7 years. It's also for partners, family and friends. It contains helpful ideas about being the best parent you can when you're not as well as you'd like to be and ways to support your child's development during their special early years. Produced in consultation with consumers, carers, workers, academics and policy makers. A detachable Care Plan Folder is also available.
