Dual Diagnosis Resource Kit
Dual diagnosis is a term used to describe when a person is affected by both mental illness and substance misuse.
DoCS has developed the Dual Diagnosis Resource Kit to help workers and families where there is parental dual diagnosis. The books and resources in the kit are intended to help workers, carers and parents introduce the issues of parental dual diagnosis and explore concerns that children or family members may have. It provides positive strategies for coping with dual diagnosis, as well as contacts for help and support.
