Evidence (2019-07-25): Making the decision to seek treatment for an addiction is not easy for anyone. What if you are a mother and seeking help for yourself means being separated from your child? What if you fear that seeking help for yourself will cause you to lose your child? 70% of women entering treatment have children and 80% of the single parents in the United States are women. One of the largest barriers to treatment for a woman with children who suffers from a substance use disorder is a fear of the unknown when it comes to the future and care of her children. When we prioritize the mother child relationship, we remove barriers for women and increase their chances for a successful recovery. [...] Children age 12 years and younger can stay with their mothers while in treatment at DCCCA, attending school or the program’s licensed child care center during the day. At meal times, at bedtime, or during leisure time, mothers may receive hands on teaching and role modeling from staff as they navigate the joys and challenges of parenting without substance use. Mothers are assisted in accessing community resources to address their children’s physical, emotional, and educational needs. Pregnant women participate in extensive well-baby services. These women often return to the residential program after their babies are born to continue their recovery.

Evidence (2007-01-09): Parents seeking help for their child’s mental health problem face a complicated system of services. We examined how parents navigate the various services available. Sixty parents contacting a children’s mental health center were interviewed regarding their efforts and rationale in seeking help for their child. On average, in the year prior to the interview parents sought help for two different child problems, contacted five different agencies or professionals for help, and parents and/or children received two different treatments. One fifth of the time parents said they accepted treatments that they did not want. Almost all parents (87%) were simultaneously in contact with more than one agency at some point within the previous year. Future help-seeking models need to capture the iterative referral process that many parents experience.

Evidence (2024-02-14): My loved one doesn't want medication or therapy/won't leave the house - How can I get them the help they need? While you may care for someone’s well-being and believe you know what’s best for them, adults maintain the legal right to make decisions about their treatment. [...] Often an individual living with a mental health diagnosis – particularly one that involves serious mental health conditions such as schizophrenia or bipolar disorder (or one complicated by a substance use disorder) – may be unaware of their illness. This is known as anosognosia [ah-no-zog-nosha], and it can render the individual unable to recognize that they have a mental health condition and/or that they need to seek help. This is especially troubling for families and friends who are often responsible for providing care for their loved one.

Evidence (2022-06-28): Differences in parental factors were also reported in relation to help-seeking and treatment participation, highlighting differences in parents’ motivation to participate in treatment. For instance, fathers’ help-seeking/enrolment and treatment attendance/retention were supported by the motivation to improve as a parent. By contrast, mothers’ help-seeking/enrolment was facilitated by feelings of desperation for support with their child’s behavioural problems and anticipating such support to be beneficial. Furthermore, mothers reported that improvements in co-parenting and parents’ own mental health facilitated treatment attendance/retention. Taken together, these results suggest that practitioners should assess motivation for treatment for both mothers and fathers at the outset of referral to ensure they ‘Connect’ with parents in ways that optimise treatment outcomes [6, 16].

Evidence (2019-09-09): Their son doesn't want help. He doesn't believe he needs help. [...] These parents have been trying to get their son help for nearly two years. What motivates them to keep trying are memories of a typical teenager who was a standout student-athlete in high school and went on to graduate from college. [...] Their friends can't believe after all they’ve done, they still can't get their son help. Some have even made comments like "maybe he'll commit a crime or get in an accident."

Evidence (2019-08-16): New parents, overwhelmed parents, and parents facing mental health conditions may benefit from the support of a mental health professional. A therapist or counselor can help parents through difficult situations or behavioral concerns. [...] - Keeping children safe - Listening to children and spending time with them - Providing affection, order, and consistency - Setting and enforcing limits for children - Monitoring friendships children make - Seeking help for any medical or behavioral concerns [...] Many parents continue to offer support and guidance to their adult children. This may especially be the case of a child who is coping with a chronic or temporary issue. But some adult children resent what they see as continued parental influence. These adult children may refuse assistance. Some children may engage in risky or destructive behavior. Parents may be unable to reach them or unsuccessful when encouraging them to seek help. This powerlessness is likely to be difficult and distressing for parents. A therapist or other mental health professional can help parents learn to cope with this. Therapists may also help parents learn how to reach out to their children, when possible.

Evidence (2024-03-20): Parental help-seeking preferences may help explain the treatment gap in child mental health. This study examined mothers’ and fathers’ help-seeking behaviors for child mental health to further understand their individual preferences for treatment. A total of 394 mothers and fathers completed questionnaires assessing the types of help sought for mental health concerns for a target child (age 3–7 years), as well as measures representing illness profile, predisposing characteristics, and barriers/facilitators proposed to influence help-seeking. Parents often sought informal rather than professional help. Regression modelling indicated mothers’ different help-seeking behaviors were significantly associated with illness profile (marital quality, child mental health, parental education), predisposing factors (parental attributions, child age), and family income, while fathers’ different help-seeking behaviors were significantly associated with child demographics (age, gender). The results support expanding treatments into nonclinical settings and improving child mental health literacy to improve appropriate parental help-seeking for child mental health concerns.

Evidence (2024-02-02): In my exploration of this subject, I have found that understanding the signs and causes of toxic mother-son relationships is vital to addressing the issue. It’s equally important to recognize that the path to healing and recovery is possible, though it often requires establishing boundaries, engaging in self-care, and seeking professional help. Moving beyond these challenging dynamics allows for the development of healthier relationships, fostering a stronger sense of self and well-being. [...] In my quest for healing from a toxic mother-son relationship, acknowledging the damage and actively seeking paths for recovery are paramount. I focus on two vital steps: confronting my feelings, especially resentment and rage, and exploring professional support through therapy and counseling. [...] In what ways might a mother inappropriately treat her son as a surrogate partner or spouse?

Evidence (2015-09-25): Every month I receive emails from parents (just like you perhaps) of adult children who have a serious mental illness. You tell me many things, but the one on which you all agree is how painful it is to see your son or daughter in anguish yet at the same time not accept help. They're angry with you, blame you, yell at you, yet need your help desperately. You tell me how helpless, how lost, and how hopeless you feel. It is a journey of great pain. But there is also great hope. I know. My parents were on this very same journey. For five years, I was in and out of the hospital because of psychotic episodes. I not only refused help but refused to accept the diagnosis of bipolar disorder with psychosis and generalized anxiety disorder.

[...] Dealing with depression, anxiety, or other big issues is hard. It’s even harder alone. Telling your parents you need help is the first step to feeling better. But having that conversation can feel like a big hurdle. [...] When telling your parents you need a therapist, explain how you’re feeling. Say you want help. If they don’t get it the first time, try again. Ask for help from someone at school, such as a counselor. Don’t wait. The sooner you ask for help, the sooner you’ll get it.

Evidence (2024-01-01): People with mental health or addiction problems are not always willing to seek treatment. They may not believe there is a problem. Or they may feel that they can address the issue on their own, without treatment. The person may also have fears about the mental health system or concerns about the stigma of a mental health or addiction diagnosis. This is a difficult situation for families. While your family member may not see the need for treatment, you are witnessing the situation and feel they need support. [...] You may be tempted to repeatedly urge, plead or even threaten your family member into seeking treatment. Unfortunately, this often results in a breakdown of communication and the person shutting you out.

Evidence (2022-03-17): After struggling to get treatment for her mentally ill son, a mother’s act of desperation: Giving up custody [...] To get him into a full-time residential treatment program and find a way to pay for it, she was willing to give up her parental rights. She would hand her son over to social services and open herself to charges of being a negligent parent. It was an act of desperation for Lisa — one that’s made by thousands of families across the country every year in the face of inadequate, inaccessible mental health care. [...] Lisa said she took on thousands in personal loans to pay for his treatment. She begged for help from New Mexico lawmakers. She told her story to the local newspaper, hoping to publicly shame the insurance company into providing her son the care he needed.

Evidence (2023-10-30): This kind of behavior is cause for serious concern and falls outside the realm of the normal teenage development. You need to find out whether your child has undergone some kind of trauma (bullying, rape) or is abusing drugs or alcohol. This behavior could also indicate the beginning of a serious mental health issue such as depression, schizophrenia or bipolar disorder, all which become more common in the late teens and early 20s. [...] - Seek professional help from a qualified clinician. Begin by calling your child’s pediatrician and describing their behavior in detail.

Evidence (2015-02-12): Women who sought out methadone maintenance treatment when they were pregnant had no difficulty enrolling in a clinic. Women who were not pregnant when seeking treatment were not so successful. Brittany had unsuccessfully sought methadone treatment after the birth of her second son and had not been able to overcome the barriers she encountered. She continued to use and became pregnant again, and finally lost custody of all three of her children. [...] Women’s experiences seeking methadone treatment also highlighted a need for more information about this treatment option, both in general and specifically for pregnant women. In general, women harbored some misconceptions about methadone and were unclear about the treatment process. They were concerned that if they start taking methadone, they would never be able to stop. Women who were pregnant and on methadone were not well-informed about what to expect when their babies were born. They did not expect to see such severe withdrawal symptoms, they did not know that CPS would be called in for hospital and home visits, and they did not understand the way doctors and nurses assessed their infants’ withdrawal symptoms and administered treatments. This lack of information left women feeling confused, vulnerable and in some cases misled or betrayed by treatment professionals. Better communication between medical staff and mothers may help to ease some of this confusion and reduce feelings of stigmatization and unfair treatment.

Evidence (2024-02-06): If your child is 12 or older and has obesity, ask your health care professional about other treatment options, such as - weight-management medicines for children ages 12 and older - weight-loss surgery, also called bariatric and metabolic surgery, for teens ages 13 and older Treatments such as medicines and surgery don’t replace lifestyle changes as a way for your child to lose weight. These treatments work best when your child is physically active and consumes healthy foods and beverages.13 [...] Children respond to medicines and treatments differently than adults. The way to get the best treatments for children is through research designed specifically for them.

Evidence (2024-03-08): Many adult children of alcoholic mothers face adjustment issues throughout their lives.1 Seeking help for alcohol use disorder is the first step toward preventing these issues and stopping the cycle of addiction and alcohol abuse. [...] Seeking treatment for an alcohol use disorder helps you take charge of your health and wellbeing as well as that of your child. It’s important that your unique parenting and personal needs are adequately addressed so that you can focus on your treatment. You should discuss such concerns and needs with rehab staff. Many women with substance abuse issues also have co-occurring disorders such as depression or PTSD, so treatment should address these issues as well. [...] If you have a mother who is struggling with an alcohol use disorder, it is natural for you to want to help her but not know where to start. It is important to remember that it is not your fault that your mother drinks and abuses alcohol. Although it is not your responsibility to find treatment for you mother, supporting your mother through treatment can be very encouraging for her, as a strong support system is beneficial to a successful recovery journey. There are many resources for parents and children who are in your situation.
