Parenting Intervention for Parents with Psychosis in Adult mental health services (PIPPA)<\/h1>\n

We are currently looking for parents with psychosis to take part in a study aimed at reducing parenting stress and improving child behaviour\u00a0through\u00a0the use of a self-directed positive parenting programme called Triple P.<\/p>\n

Why are we undertaking this study?<\/h2>\n

Around 2 in 100 people in the UK experience psychosis and the majority of these are parents. The stress of parenting can worsen psychotic symptoms and parents with psychosis need help early. Their children tend to do less well in life and are more likely to develop mental health problems themselves.<\/p>\n

A self-directed parenting programme, called the Triple P positive parenting programme could be useful for parents with psychosis. Triple P has been found to reduce parenting stress and improve child behaviour.<\/p>\n

Parents with psychosis have told us that they do not want parenting support from family services, because these services don\u2019t understand the added burden that psychosis can bring. We are therefore conducting the PIPPA study and offering Triple P within adult mental health services.<\/p>\n

What will this study involve?<\/h2>\n

We aim to recruit 50 parents with psychosis from services within the Greater Manchester Mental Health NHS Foundation Trust and the Pennine Care NHS Foundation Trust. To be eligible, parents must be 18 or over, be under the care of an adult mental health team, and have a child aged between 2 and 12 years old. Participants will be allocated by chance, into one of two groups:<\/p>\n
