Working well to understand how the inter-parental relationship affects Young People’s Mental Health
Thursday, 27, May 2021 @ 4:00 pm - 5:30 pm
This event will provide an opportunity for participants to hear the evidence of the impact of inter-parental conflict on children and young people, their mental health and emotional well-being, educational experiences and future life outcomes.
“Good inter-parental relationships are another protective factor for children’s and young people’s mental health, particularly for children living in poverty. Children who are exposed to persistent and unresolved parental conflict are at a greater risk of early emotional and behavioural problems, anti-social behaviour as an adolescent and later mental health problems as they transition into adulthood.” Green Paper on Transforming CYP Mental Health 2017
Hear from Professor Gordon Harold about how the inter-parental relationship affects children and young people and the implications for practice and policy.
