Even though 1 in 3 children in the UK is growing up with a parent with poor mental health, there is still a negative attitude around mental health compared to physical health. This stigma means that it can be difficult for children to speak up, even though their may have a parent who is struggling or in hospital.

Unfortunately, in their daily lives, many children and adults may be dismissive of what's happening. You can help by learning about stigma and discrimination and challenging the status quo.
