Deepen your understanding of the impact of parental mental illness on children’s development and learn strategies for building their resilience
Did you know that one in three children has a parent with poor mental health (UK Household Longitudinal Study, 2020) and these children are much more likely to develop a mental illness themselves?
This interactive online course has been created in partnership with Our Time Charity, the UK’s only charity supporting children of parents with a mental illness.
Over six hours of learning, this training will support you to explore the impact of parental mental illness on children’s cognitive, social and emotional development, and the importance of fostering resilience to help them thrive despite adversity.
Drawing on whole-family and systemic approaches, as well as lived experience testimonies, you will consider a range of strategies and complete the course with enhanced confidence and a practical toolkit to support children and young people affected by parental mental illness.
This course will be particularly useful for professionals and teams across health, social care, education and voluntary services given the landmark amendment to the Mental Health Bill in 2025, which – for the first time – recognises children of parents with a mental illness and explicitly obliges mental health professionals to identify and support these vulnerable children.
