Thanks Sally Phillips for flagging our research on Good Morning Britain & making the message clear: #ParentCarers don't contemplate suicide because they have disabled kids. They contemplate suicide because they've been by broken by a system that's failing their kids. birmingham.ac.uk/news/2024/more…
