Dr Kathy Weston's Get a Grip! Parenting Podcast

In this interview, Dr Faith Martin, currently senior lecturer in psychology at the University of Cardiff, discusses her research into the effects that children's mental health difficulties can have on parents and carers, and makes suggestions for how parents and carers might best manage their own wellbeing when they are looking after a young person in distress. If you are a parent or carer in this situation, tune in for numerous simple, practical tips that might help in everyday life. Remember, you matter too!
