Aim: This interview discusses the important role that schools and colleges play in supporting the mental health of parents and carers, including how they can overcome common challenges to engagement and help to build family resilience. 

Rationale: The theme for this year’s Parent Mental Health Day is #BuildFamilyResilience, focusing on how parents and carers can successfully adapt to challenging life situations, and deal with their own stress and anxiety, while navigating their family through difficult times. As a member of school and college staff, supporting the mental health and wellbeing of parents and carers, therefore, can have a huge impact.
