Support for parents from your own family and friends
Part of Mental health clinical trials.
This trial looks at a support approach that involves your existing “circle” of family and friends. It may help parents who are struggling in how they manage key caregiving tasks so children are less likely to have to take on those responsibilities.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have at least one child aged 0 to 18 living with you
- A parent’s mental or emotional difficulties make everyday parenting tasks harder
- Because of this, your child may be at risk of having to take on adult-like responsibilities
- You already have some family or friends you can rely on (your social network)
