Low mental health literacy is one of the barriers in accessing mental health services provided, leaving mental health problems untreated, yet mental health literacy among parents of children with ASC is poorly understood. This conceptual paper of the ongoing study aims to emphasize the significance of understanding the mental health literacy concept within the specific population. Findings will be able to highlight the implications of mental health literacy among parents of children with ASC and will also provide further opportunities to explore the literature gap.</p><p>Keywords: mental health literacy; mental health; parents with Autism Spectrum Condition (ASC) children; concept paper</p><p><em>eISSN: 2398-4287 </em><em>© 2022.
