Although research shows that the impact inter-parental conflict on children is highest in families where parents are dependent on alcohol, there is very little specialist help available.
This is regrettable as one of the most powerful ways of helping individuals to change is through work with the couple.
Tavistock Relationships - along with the charities One Plus One and Adfam - was funded by the Department for Health and Social Care and the Department for Work and Pensions to make more support available to parents, so that children of alcohol dependent parents can be helped.
The project contained three elements:
These three elements of the project were interwoven, linked by the core digital element, which offers resources both for parents to access for self-help as well as a range of content and functionality to support the training and ongoing professional development of the staff who are trained within our approach.
The project was delivered through a partnership between the charities Tavistock Relationships, Adfam and OnePlusOne, and concluded in March 2020.
Relationships are a vital part of helping families with addiction.
