That this House notes the launch of Family Action's Against All Odds campaign to improve the life chances of children of adults with mental health difficulties; further notes that where such adults do not receive appropriate support their children are at risk of poor development, abuse, poverty and developing their own mental health difficulties in later life; further notes that where Family Action, and similar services intervene to provide family-focussed support to adults with mental health difficulties and their children their outcomes improve; urges commissioners to protect and expand the provision of such services wherever possible; and calls on the Government to ensure the availability of holistic services, and more adequate welfare support to all adults with mental health difficulties so as to meet the goals of the forthcoming child poverty strategy and the new Work Programme.
This motion has been signed by a total of 56 MPs.
