The EQo-Mental project: A protocol for a mixed-methods study on occupational balance and mental health in parents of children with developmental delays
Findings from EQo-Mental will inform the design of evidence-based, family-centred strategies that support occupational balance, parental well-being, and engagement in meaningful activities. By addressing the occupational needs of parents, the project seeks to foster more resilient families and strengthen early intervention services through an inclusive, occupation-focused approach.
