Summary
Parents of seriously ill children should be offered proactive mental health support from diagnosis, through treatment, and in grief. Unlike perinatal parents, they get no dedicated help. We want this support made a standard part of every child’s care. Parents of seriously ill children endure trauma that can lead to PTSD, depression, and lasting grief, yet they receive no structured mental health support. This inequality leaves thousands to suffer in silence. We want the Government to act so every parent gets the help they need from diagnosis onwards.
