Even though employing a family-sensitive approach has been shown to be beneficial
for parents and children there is sporadic uptake of this approach. This paper focuses
on practitioners perspectives when working with families where a parent with
dependent children has a mental illness and/or substance abuse disorder. The aim of
this research is twofold: (1) identify the issues practitioners face when working with
families with complex needs; and (2) present the strategies they find to be effective in
addressing family needs. Within the context of an organization that supported a
family-sensitive approach this study reports on 21 semi-structured interviews con-
ducted over 15 months with 10 practitioners as well as three focus group interviews
with the same staff. Employing a qualitative framework data highlighted the multi-
faceted nature of family problems issues working with multiple agencies and prob-
lems associated with staff turnover. Successful strategies included working with the
family on clearly defined and negotiated goals focusing on family strengths and
employing specific skills such as managing the sometimes competing needs of children
and parents.
