Having a close family member with mental illness is one of the ten adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) – with many children in the UK living in intergenerational and mixed family households, the implications are manifold.
We offer your senior leaders an opportunity to consider the children in your setting who may have a parent, carer or family member with a mental illness. As the only UK charity dedicated to supporting this group of children and giving them a voice, Our Time is uniquely placed to help you understand how best to manage their needs. We have first-hand experience of the decisions faced by school leaders and ways in which schools can help and be helped.
