In this Papers Podcast, Dr. Simona Skripkauskaite discusses her JCPP Advances paper ‘Changes in UK parental mental health symptoms over 10 months of the COVID-19 pandemic’ (https://doi.org/10.1002/jcv2.12139).

There is an overview of the paper, methodology, key findings, and implications for practice.

Discussion points include:

The importance of focusing on parental mental health in the context of the pandemic.
The different trajectories associated with changes in parental anxiety, stress, and depression over the pandemic.
The types of circumstances and inequalities that put parents most at risk, and the types of circumstances that were protective.
The implications of the findings for child and adolescent mental health professionals.
The messages that policymakers should take from this research.

In this series, we speak to authors of papers published in one of ACAMH’s three journals. These are The Journal of Child Psychology and Psychiatry (JCPP); The Child and Adolescent Mental Health (CAMH) journal; and JCPP Advances.
