Free local support for managing parental conflict
There is strong evidence that conflict between parents, whether they live together or are separated, can have a significant negative impact on children’s mental health, well-being, and long-term life chances.
Not all conflict is harmful. Children can cope well with disagreements that are calm, short-lived and resolved. However, when conflict is frequent, intense, or poorly resolved, it can affect how safe children feel, how they manage their emotions, and how they behave at home and in school.
Small changes in how adults communicate can make a meaningful difference to children’s emotional security and well-being.
