Information for parents and carers
Please find a link below to the Anna Freud National Centre for Children and Families. The website provides a wealth of information about mental health and wellbeing, including guidance on how you can look after yourself as a parent or carer while supporting your children.
Anna Freud Centre for Children and Families
Our resources for parents and carers offer advice and guidance to help support children and young people who may be struggling with poor mental health.
All of the resources have been co-produced with parents and carers, including the Centre’s Parent Champions and parents and carers from The Pears Family School. The content has also been reviewed by the Centre’s clinical team before publication.
The resources complement those created for young people, which can be found on On My Mind, with the following key aims:
- To support parents and carers who are trying to navigate the mental health system on behalf of, or in support of, a child or young person.
- To help parents and carers stay connected with their child and find solutions together.
- To help parents and carers communicate with schools, colleges and extended family.
- To highlight the importance of looking after yourself as a parent or carer.
- To signpost trusted organisations that may help to support a child or young person and their family and advocate on their behalf.
