| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
This study is based on the recovery experiences of adult children of “KODOMO-PEER (an association for children , estab. in 2018, with mentally ill Parents) and its aim is to examine effective support for minor children who are young careers.
As a result of the survey of the people (who had participated in “KODOMO-PEER”) of their own experiences as young carers in their elementary, middle, and high school years, it becomes clear that the role of school teachers is important for support. Therefore, in order to improve teachers’ understanding, we created a video teaching material called “WATASHI-KOKO PROGRAM,” evaluated it as a paper. Two more activity bases of “KODOMO-PEER” are added all over the country, and total activity bases reached seven. They are Tokyo , Osaka, Sapporo, Fukuoka, Okinawa, Okayama and Kochi.

| Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements |
子ども版「家族学習会」経験者をコアグループとして設立された、「精神疾患の親をもつ子どもの会（こどもぴあ）」は、誰にも話せず、社会で孤立する成人した子どもたちを繋ぎ、互いに語り合うことで、生きづらさからの回復を支援する役割を担っている。「こどもぴあ」メンバーの体験は、ヤングケアラー支援のあり方を明かにすることができるとともに、同じ立場の未成年の子どもたちへの世代を超えたピアサポートが可能となると考える。
