I've picked up loads of website details from other peoples questions on the above subject but there is one still bugging me and it is the following....

2.3 explain how mental ill health may have an impact on those in the individuals family, social or work networking including...

*Psychological & emotional
*practical & financial
*the impact of using services
*social exclusion
*positive impacts

Am i right by heading along the lines of the families emotional side and seeing it from there point of view - or am i way off?

Any chance of someones help please?

Thank you again!

Hi bosstboots,

Yes its about the effects on the individual's family and social and work networks.

For example for 'the impact of using services' how might being a carer impact on the individuals wife? She would have an assessment for her own needs, be supported etc.

Hope that helps

Aunty Sue

hi bossyboots,

Have you seen a movie: 'About a boy'? If no, I recommend you to watch it, it will help you definitely to answer the question you have (depressed mother and impact on other's life).

Additional nice movie.

Thank you Aunty Sue - this does help.

Mika - i have seen "about a boy", and now you have mentioned it, i can picture the scenes in my head - i'm not mad honest!!

Thank you very much the pair of you.
