Mental health can be impacted by a number of factors, including environmental and social. There is evidence that the pandemic has impacted significantly on parent and carer mental health. Increasing severity, new emerging psychological issues, and lack of access to stretched mental health services has also generated ongoing worries on how to also support their child / young person’s mental health. The cost of living crisis, which has so closely followed the pandemic, and increased concerns about digital harms have further increased parent and carer anxiety and, in some cases, helplessness and hopelessness.
