Parents of children with mental health struggles face stigma, study finds

Original: Children's mental health struggles may expose parents to stigma tied to parenting ideals

Parents whose children experience mental health difficulties may themselves face stigma, rooted in cultural ideals of what 'good parenting' should look like. Researchers say society often blames parents for children's psychological struggles, adding guilt and social judgment on top of caregiving demands. Experts are calling for greater awareness of this parental stigma so families get support rather than blame.

Why now: Growing public attention to children's mental health is prompting discussion of the hidden burden and blame placed on parents.
