#Parentalwellbeing

A growing question in Thailand’s evolving health system is how to best support parents who care for children with chronic illness or disability. International studies echo a troubling finding: caregiving can take a heavy psychological toll on families, often leaving parents feeling isolated and overwhelmed.

For many Thai families, parenting a child with significant health needs means stepping off the traditional path. While new parents often rely on support networks, caregivers of chronically ill children frequently struggle to find empathy and practical help from family and friends.
