Key to Family Centered Care

Today is Mental Health Day, an opportunity to highlight family centered care for people with mental ill health. When parents are admitted to hospital, it can be challenging and confusing time for children and families.
The 'At the Hospital Booklet' was developed in collaboration with service providers, parents and children to help families understand what is happening during a parent’s inpatient stay, talk about mental health and encourage questions.
The booklet contains pictures of the unit, pictures of staff members and key resources that children and families can access whilst parents are away from home.
