Australia welcomes you  to the 


National Network of Adult and Adolescent Children who have a Mentally Ill Parent/s. Vic. inc. Australia


Write a special letter of concern to the treating psychiatrist or mental health service.
Use a standardised letter   
to show your parent’s doctor
or mental health service
your concerns;
or just to let them know that
you know a lot of what is 
happening at home.
Even if the doctor can’t talk 
to you, you can still tell them 
how things are for you.

 Write a Family Management Crisis Plan now.
Make a special Family Management Crisis Plan.
Do it yourself with your family.
Parents can do it themselves.
Tell the doctor/ psychiatrists or mental health service who you expect to do certain tasks when a parent is not able to take care of their usual responsibilities ( for times like their hospitalisation.)
Who will pick the kids up form school?
Who will make lunches ?
Who will pay the bills ?
Until a parent returns or is  able to resume responsibilities.

I’ve known people who have gone into hospital and the professionals don’t realise that there is a dog back at the person’s home which needs a walk or a budgie looking for food.
Professionals will not realise who you have in mind that could pick up the kids from school or help with dinner unless you tell them. Tell them now in advance, use the family plan.
