This is our second installment of conversations with expert clinicians around topical issues. In this short podcast Dr Georgina Cox discusses the importance of parent well-being.

In this interview, Georgina discusses:

• What research has been conducted into the well-being of parents with a disability and what were the main findings
• What can professionals do to help support parents
• What can parents do to put their own well-being at the top of the priority list
