Episode Details

Many children are affected by the mental health needs of their parents - whether that impact is emotional, or having to become more self-sufficient at an early age. And some even find the roles of child and adult have swapped - and they've become the carer for their parent.

So how do we help them cope with that emotional pressure and succeed in school? Helena Kulikowska from the charity Our Time shares her practical advice for supporting pupils affected by this issue.
