SCIE implementing the Think Child, Think Parent, Think Family guide
SCIE is working with the five integrated Health and Social Care trusts in Northern Ireland, and five sites in England to pilot the implementation of the ‘Think Child, Think Parent, Think Family’ guide. The sites in England are:
- Birmingham
- Liverpool
- London Borough of Lewisham
- London Borough of Southwark
- North Somerset
The sites are currently developing their implementation plans, and are at different stages with this. SCIE will continue to support the pilot sites for two years (three years in Northern Ireland) as they implement their plans. SCIE is also working on an evaluation of the projects to determine the impact of putting the guide’s recommendations into action. For more information about the pilot sites and early guidance on the key characteristics of a successful service, visit the Implementation sites
For the Guide itself, go to SCIE Guide 30: Think child, think parent, think family: a guide to parental mental health and child welfare.
The Parental Mental Health and Child Welfare Network is working with the implementation team at SCIE to share our resources and support those working to hold a family-centred approach in their thinking.

It will present findings from the latest DH evaluation of Family Nurse Partnerships; create a safe space for critical debate and reflection on family–focussed working; give examples of where local services are piloting different ways of working systemically with the diverse formations of adults and children that constitute families; and hear how recognising the resources of parents with mental health problems and their children can really make a difference.
