Our Time Charity supports children who have a parent with a mental illness.

For many young people, growing up with a parent struggling with their mental health can be a difficult and overwhelming experience. It is often isolating, confusing – even frightening. It can bring with it immense responsibility, and also stigma. But with the right support and understanding these young people can go on to lead happy and fulfilling lives – just like any other child. This is our ambition.

Many of the adults that come into contact with children who have a parent with a mental illness do not know how to help and sometimes don’t recognise the need. We make sure professionals – whether in schools, the health service or the community – have the best skills and knowledge to help these young people thrive through awareness-raising, training and CPD.
