Syftet med detta arbete är att undersöka om det finns en beredskap bland specialpedagoger att möta barn till föräldrar med psykisk ohälsa i förskola och skola i en kommun i södra Sverige. Sammanfattningsvis visar resultatet på att barn påverkas av föräldrar med psykiskt ohälsa. Det finns en beredskap och kunskap hos specialpedagoger att uppmärksamma barn till föräldrar med psykisk ohälsa. Däremot finns ett behov av att utöka samarbetet med socialtjänsten.
