Seven children reveal their reactions to discovery of a parent's mental illness, hospitalization of the parent, and the effect on themselves and family. The children are doing art work during the interviews. The video focuses on the art work in order to protect the children's anonymity, and to communicate the underlying concerns the children experience on a day-to-day basis
