Source: Australasian Psychiatry. Aug2026, Vol. 34 Issue 4, p332-335. 4p.
Subjects: Parents, Mental health, Social attitudes, Family relations, Addictions, Dependents, Psychological distress
Abstract: Objective: I propose a rethinking of harm experienced by children of parents living with mental health and addiction challenges. Conclusion: Drawing on expertise by experience and interdisciplinary practice, I offer a conceptual framework that points out that harm cannot be understood through a singular, risk-focused lens, but requires attention to the intersecting family dynamics, social attitudes, and systemic conditions.
