The number of people with mental disabilities in Japan (400 million or more) is on the rise, and support for children as well as parents is needed.A research group consisting of Associate Professor Masako Kageyama of Osaka University Graduate School, Professor Keiko Yokoyama of Saitama Prefectural University, and members of the Children's Association for Children with Mental Illness (Children's Pia) said, "Experience of children with parents with mental illness and at school. The results of a post-adult fact-finding survey on "consultation status" are summarized.
We conducted a web questionnaire survey of 240 people who have participated in the association of people with parents with mental illness. We received responses from 20 people over the age of 50-120.
As a young carer, 57.8-61.5% of parents' emotional care and 29.7-32.1% of household chores more than help in elementary, junior high and high school.When in elementary school, 62.4% experienced quarrels between adults and 51.4% experienced attacks from parents.Signs that parents may notice the problem include parents not coming to class visits and parent interviews, bullying, many things left behind, many late absences, and school stagnation.43.2-55.0% of those who did not give a sign were in elementary, junior high and high school.
Teachers' reactions that respondents disliked include prejudice against mental illness, discriminatory behavior, and lack of consideration for privacy.There are many opinions that they wanted to hear the story because they were concerned about their family circumstances and worries.
91.7%, 84.5%, and 78.6% of those who did not consult with the school were in elementary, junior high, and high school, respectively. Such.Most of the people who were easy to talk to were teachers in charge at any time. Significantly more people in their 30s or younger had a history of consulting with school when they were in elementary school or high school.
Children with parents with mental illness are less likely to receive support, and at school they need to work with them to make them aware of the problem and listen to their stories.Professor Yokoyama published "Quiet Transformers" (Pencom) as part of his support.
