Parent Mental Health Day was established by the charity stem4 which supports teenagers and young adults to build positive mental health.
Parent Mental Health Day aims to encourage understanding and awareness of the importance of parent mental health and its potential impact on the whole family system with the theme ‘Balance’. The day aims to get parents and carers to take a moment to reflect on the balance they have in their lives, as well as how they balance looking after their family’s mental health and to take steps to make positive change and ‘balance out’.
Parent Mental Health Day is here to shine a light on the unsung heroes who have parented under changed circumstances throughout the pandemic, but now need some focus on themselves as well as their children and young people. By getting parents (and their employers) engaged in discussions about how to look after their own and their family’s mental health, PMHD breaks the stigma surrounding parent mental health and starts a discussion on how parents are coping too.
With a focus on encouraging balance, Parent Mental Health Day will encourage parents, carers, and employers to acknowledge the difficulties parents across the world have and are facing and, through this sharing, develop ways to change.
When is Parent Mental Health Day 2027?
Parent Mental Health Day will take place on the 30th January 2026.
