Document the FamilyHistory via Make or View Client Notes.

This element of the Narrative History relates directly to the FamilyInformalNetworkMembers, which in turn defines the whole of the informal care network relating to the young person.

Specific things to ask about include:

• Psychological or psychiatric difficulties in other family members
• Is there a genetic vulnerability factor to take into account?
• Might early exposure to parental mental illness have impacted upon the young person's development?
• Substance use difficulties in parents or other family/network members?
• Who is living where?
• How do different family members spend their days?
• Employment, economic status
• A family culture of work, high achievement or unemployment, criminality, etc?
• Relationships between other key members of the family/network.
• "Who gets on best in this family?... Who gets on the worst? Who is the peacemaker?"
