Our Time

Our Time supports children and young people affected by parental mental illness. Over 2.5 million children in the UK are living in families where one or both parents have a mental illness. We create supportive environments for young people affected by parental mental illness, where they can receive explanations about their parent’s condition, build resilience, have fun and be heard. We raise awareness and understanding of this group to secure their recognition within public policy. We develop and deliver tailored services to affected families, and support professionals working with children and young people to better understand this issue.
