Children and young people with high levels of mental health needs are struggling to receive the help they need, or to have their difficulties recognized, according to a new study.

More and more adults are stuck in the middle of their families, caring not only for their children, but also for aging parents and other older family members.

People who care for both their children and older family members – also known as 'sandwich carers' – suffer from deterioration in both their mental and physical health over time, finds a new study by UCL researchers.
