Family factors

Family dynamics, parenting styles, and family mental health history significantly influence children's mental health. Factors like family conflict, parental mental illness, and insecure attachment increase risk for mental health problems in youth. Positive family relationships and parental support are protective factors for children's mental wellbeing.
