This is the second volume in a series that explores the mental health of parents and its impact on child welfare, and which acts as a yearly update on key research, policy developments and practice innovations, both in the UK and around the world. This publication is a unique opportunity to explore and share ideas about 'success' and what 'leads to success' from the different perspective of parents, children and the professionals who work with them. Much like its predecessor, it draws together a range of experts in the field - researchers, policy makers, practitioners and service users - to identify both the opportunities and challenges, as well as to explore what works in which contexts, for whom and why.
