SUPPORT FROM PARENTS WITH LIVED EXPERIENCE

Our private Facebook community is a unique space where 40,000 parents from all over the world share the experience of parenting a child with a mental health issue. With the option to post anonymously or as yourself, the group is a safe non-judgemental space, carefully and thoughtfully moderated to ensure you get support when you need it, how you need it.


Reach out for advice, to vent, share fears and frustrations, celebrate the wins, give and receive support any time of day or night and make new connections. You don't have to go through this alone.

When was the last time you told your child they were beautiful, funny, supported, loved?

How many hats do you wear? Parent, child, spouse, friend, employee, employer? Whatever roles you’re responsible for, when your child’s mental health declines, and you’re expected to work as if it hasn’t, it can add an additional layer of stress to an already challenging situation.

Dove Campaign | Social Media Change

Parenting Mental Health is partnering with Dove and a group of campaigning organisations to make social media safer for young people.


Social media is making kids sick. Over 8 in 10 youth mental health specialists say social media is fuelling a mental health crisis among young people. New research from the Dove Self-Esteem Project has revealed:


  • 9 in 10 kids are exposed to toxic beauty content on social media. As a result, this harmful content is impacting the mental health of 1 in 2 kids.
  • 9 in 10 youth mental health specialists say exposure to harmful beauty content on social media can lead to physical consequences, like disordered eating or self-harm.


Dove’s ‘Campaign for Kids Online Safety’ is taking action to support young people’s mental health.
