Abstract

This review identifies factors that contribute to psychological support for caregivers of children with disabilities. A traditional literature review was undertaken of studies published in reputable journals over the past decade. The analysis emphasises caregiver empowerment, adaptive coping strategies, and social support in navigating the demands of caregiving and in supporting caregivers’ well-being and resilience. The findings underline the importance of parental involvement in interventions aimed at children’s well-being, and the role of family adaptation and resilience. Future research should concentrate on innovative interventions that strengthen caregiver empowerment and emotional regulation. Sustainable support networks and resources are also needed for long-term caregiver support. Collaboration among healthcare professionals, policymakers, and community organisations is essential if interventions are implemented and evaluated effectively, and if both caregivers and children with disabilities are to be supported in their development and well-being.
