There are just under 4 million children in the UK whose parents are separated. Recent research has found that adolescents whose parents split up are significantly more likely than younger children to suffer from emotional and behavioural issues. So how do today鈥檚 families deal with break-ups? What kind of issues do step-parents or step- or half-children (so-called 鈥渂lended families鈥�) face and how do they deal with them? How can families navigate relationship break-ups and stay resilient?

Guy Lloyd, reporter Lola Ray and a panel of parents and experts with a warm hearted look at teenage mental health.
