Children going through family courts face increased risk of self-harm, new research finds
The article presents research findings showing that children involved in family court proceedings are at higher risk of self-harm compared to those not involved. It emphasizes that this increased risk is likely linked to pre-existing family challenges rather than the courts themselves, and argues that family courts should be used as an opportunity to provide support to children and families.
