Cover Story: Parenting a child with chronic pain can be extremely stressful, sometimes devastating, and has been associated with high rates of parental anxiety and depression. Mindfulness based interventions (MBIs) have emerged as a promising approach for improving the wellbeing of parents, including improvements in parental stress and mood, though few programs target parents of children with health conditions. Clinical and research initiatives need to assess ways to deliver MBIs to parents of children with health conditions, so these programs can be easily implemented into busy family life.
