Résumé :
FRANÇAIS :
Cette étude qualitative a exploré les expériences de mères ayant retrouvé leurs enfants après en avoir été séparées pour suivre un traitement de leur toxicomanie. L'expérience de placement des enfants est une source d'émotions intenses qui peut motiver une réhabilitation mais qui peut aussi être une source de stress. Les défis et les obstacles à des "retrouvailles" satisfaisantes ont été identifiés telles que la stigamatisation des enfants dans les systèmes de santé pour enfants
ENGLISH :
This qualitative study explored the experiences of women in recovery from drug abuse who had resumed parenting their children after child placement. Six mothers and 11 service providers from substance abuse treatment and child welfare agencies were interviewed about their perceptions of the experience of being reunified with one's children following substance abuse treatment. Findings revealed that mothers have intense emotional reactions to having children placed, which can motivate recovery but also be a source of stress. A variety of supports were identified as necessary to prepare mothers for resuming care of children beyond substance abuse treatment including counseling, child care, financial support, and parenting education. Reunification, however desirable, was described as overwhelming and fraught with parenting challenges, such as effective limit setting with children. Numerous challenges and barriers to successful reunification were identified, such as stigmatization in the child welfare system. Implications for service delivery and research are discussed.
