Abstract

With the increasing number of divorced families in our country in recent years, the mental health problems of children from divorced families have received more and more attention. The divorce of parents makes it impossible for children to grow up healthily in a sound family environment, and their body and mind are very vulnerable to influence. In order to improve the mental health status of children from single-parent families, it is not only necessary for both parents to make efforts but also for schools and society to make efforts. Therefore, this paper mainly analyzes the status quo of children's mental health in divorced families and gives corresponding suggestions for improvement.
