← ACE 101: Physical Neglect in Childhood. Our parents’ mental illnesses, if left unchecked, can contribute to Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs). When thinking about how parental mental illness can affect family members, the landmark CDC/Kaiser Permanente study on ACEs defined “mental illness” to include everything from eating disorders and depression to more chronic conditions that completely distort a person’s perception of themselves and reality.

By Dr Lucy Peake. There are twice as many children in kinship care in the UK than there are in foster care, yet this type of care remains largely invisible – to the public and policymakers, but often to professionals too. This means that support for kinship care families often falls short of what is needed to help them cope, or is missing altogether.

May means one thing on My Brain’s Not Broken – it’s time to talk about mental health awareness ! May is Mental Health Awareness Month in the United States, which means it’s a time where there is added emphasis on how we talk about mental health in this country. And before I dive into that topic (which I’ll revisit later this month), I want to talk about the concept of mental health awareness.

For some family gatherings you just have to have a safe word. It could be a nod, a look, a gesture, a comment whispered in your ear. Once seen or heard, it’s time to leave. No discussion, no drama, no explanation. Just leave. When someone is marching down trouble street, you don’t have to join the band. Kids? Take them quietly with you and go.

There’s a reason it’s called anxiety DISORDER. That’s because those feelings don’t really match the situation or are vastly greater than what the situation calls for. In a world that states, trust your feelings, that is about the worst advice when those feelings are owing to a disorder. As a disorder, your feelings are actually betraying you.

Not all parents understand what is meant by permissive parenting. It is essentially a style that in the end, enables the child to get away with things they shouldn’t. It can come about the result of neglect, but very often it is also by well-intentioned parents and even those who are quite active in their approach. Three-year Missy throws her food at the table.

? BuzzFeed News examines the enormous harm to families when parents are wrongly placed on “central registries” of alleged child abusers. A listing can shut parents out from the very jobs most often open to low-income workers, driving their families further into the poverty that often is confused with “neglect” in the first place. And, because of who is disproportionately likely to be included in these registries, the story is aptly titled “The Black List.” ?

It’s why all those plans for kinder, gentler family policing won’t do much good – and might even backfire. Connecticut is a case in point. It seems like a week doesn’t go by without some “child welfare” agency announcing an initiative that supposedly will make family policing kinder and gentler. There’s the longstanding “differential response” in which, in cases deemed less serious, caseworkers are sent out to do a supposedly family-friendly “assessment” and offer voluntary help, instead of an i
