How one Primary School Supports Children, Parents and Families when a Parent has a Mental Illness

This article is all about a school in Australia supporting the children and families impacted by mental illness. They give examples of how they supported families going through various life experiences from helping children connect with their unwell parent to providing parenting support to a parent with mental illness who has sole custody of the child.
They include information about identifying when a parent is experiencing mental illness, building children's awareness and knowledge about mental illness, identifying when a child needs support, and how to support them at school and in the classroom.
