Mum’s magic plaster

As a parent, it doesn’t matter if your child is 2 or 20; when they hurt themselves you want to help them get back up on their feet again but what happens if you can’t? The worry, stress, and even guilt that stems from not being able to ‘make it all better’ can take its toll on a parent’s wellbeing as you struggle to support your injured child in any way you can. Here, Lisa’s parents and step-parents re-live the moment they were told about Lisa’s accident, and open up about their emotional and practical responses - both then and now.
