TY - JOUR PY - 2008// TI - Parents with co-occurring mental health and substance abuse conditions involved in Child Protection Services: clinical profile and treatment needs JO - Child welfare A1 - Stromwall, Layne K. A1 - Larson, N. C. A1 - Nieri, Tanya A1 - Holley, Lynn C. A1 - Topping, Diane A1 - Castillo, Jason A1 - Ashford, Jose B. SP - 95 EP - 113 VL - 87 IS - 3 N2 - This article reports findings of an exploratory study of 71 parents with substance abuse conditions involved in a child dependency court. Over half (59%) of the parents had a co-occurring mental health condition. Parents with co-occurring conditions (PWCC) differed in several important ways from those with only substance abuse conditions. PWCC were also more likely than their case managers were to report a need for mental health treatment. Implications for child welfare practice and research are offered.
