Research evidence shows that parents' mental health difficulties may be exacerbated by parental conflict and vice versa. This may mean that children are at greater risk of poor outcomes if their parents are experiencing mental health difficulties. This webinar will outline the findings from a review of relevant research carried out by EIF in 2022, which is the basis for our practical guide designed to provide information and advice to local areas on supporting healthy relationships among parents with mental health difficulties.

This webinar is part of a series exploring EIF's practical guides on supporting healthy relationships.

More about EIF's practical guides on supporting healthy relationships

This series of practical guides provides information and advice to local Reducing Parental Conflict teams who are developing activities designed to engage and support specific target groups that have been recommended to us by local authorities across the country.

Guides in the series:

• Supporting healthy relationships among separated and separating parents
• Supporting healthy relationships among minority ethnic parents
• Supporting healthy relationships among parents of children with behaviours that challenge
• Supporting healthy relationships among parents with mental health difficulties.

Each guide includes:

• an overview of the research evidence
• how research evidence can be put into practice to inform a local strategy
• evidence-based interventions that can be used with the target group
• measurement tools that can be used to measure outcomes
• recommendations developed in consultation with local authorities on how to engage parents and families in the target group.
