Abstract / Description

The impact of parenting capacity with substance use on child outcomes is relatively established in the literature. However, understanding social workers' perspectives in working with parental substance use remains limited. This research used a qualitative design of semi-structured interviews and thematic analysis to explore five Social Workers viewpoints on working with parental substance use. Four main narratives emerged and these included: Challenges of working with parental substance use, informed decision making, developing self-efficacy and professional values. The research findings are discussed in the context of wider literature, in reference to applicable psychological theory, and in next steps for future research and potential future training.
