Exposure to conflict, financial stress, unstable housing, or chaotic home environments can significantly impact children's mental health, behaviour, and ability to form secure attachments and healthy relationships. This collection provides insight into how environmental factors influence children's development, helps adults recognize when a child's circumstances are affecting their wellbeing, and offers practical guidance on creating protective factors, accessing support, and building safer, more nurturing environments where children can develop resilience and reach their potential." --- # Environment ### Filter by type: - [ Article ](https://nipinthebud.trilbyhost.com/challenges/environment?type=Article) - [ Podcast ](https://nipinthebud.trilbyhost.com/challenges/environment?type=Podcast) - [ Video ](https://nipinthebud.trilbyhost.com/challenges/environment?type=Video) - [ Transcript ](https://nipinthebud.trilbyhost.com/challenges/environment?type=Transcript) - [ All ](https://nipinthebud.trilbyhost.com/challenges/environment) ![](https://nipinthebud.trilbyhost.com/user/pages/02.challenges/06.environment/impact-of-parental-alcohol-addiction-on-children/impact-of-parents-drinking-on-children.jpg) ### Article: The impact of parental alcohol addiction on children [Article: The impact of parental alcohol addiction on children](https://nipinthebud.trilbyhost.com/challenges/environment/impact-of-parental-alcohol-addiction-on-children) Amy Dickson from NACOA talks about growing up with a parent’s drinking, and how early support and open conversations help children cope, connect and t… [ Environment ](https://nipinthebud.trilbyhost.com/results/tag:Environment) ![](https://nipinthebud.trilbyhost.com/user/pages/03.toolkit/04.school-life/transforming-education-with-rachel-macfarlane/wayne-lee-sing-movement-for-mental-health.jpg) ### Podcast: Transforming Education with Rachel MacFarlane [Podcast: Transforming Education with Rachel MacFarlane](https://nipinthebud.trilbyhost.com/toolkit/school-life/transforming-education-with-rachel-macfarlane) Rachel Macfarlane emphasises the importance of equity, diversity, and building strong relationships with students and families.
