Children of the mentally ill
EF 2010-11
Résumé
This series of stories to be published in the Toronto Star will investigate the impact that parents with serious mental illness (including bipolar disorder, schizophrenia and depression) have on the physical, psychological and social well-being of their children throughout their development and into adulthood.
Through interviews with families and their support systems and by reviewing research that is being done in this area in Canada and around the world, the series will chronicle the common challenges and influences of this group that is often ignored as health and social systems focus on their parents.
The project aims to identify gaps in public policy, highlight best practices and explore possible solutions that could be offered by local institutions as well as provincial and federal governments and agencies.
