Unterstützung für Kinder und Jugendliche mit psychisch erkrankten Eltern im „Children of mentally ill parents –network“

Children of mentally ill parents are known to be a risk group for developing their own psychopathology. Nonetheless, many support offers have a limited project character and no family-oriented standard of care has yet been established for children and adolescents of mentally ill parents in Germany. Using the association “Children of mentally ill parents-network” (CHIMP-NET) as an example, the aim is to show how forms of interventions can be implemented in care with the possibilities of the Federal Joint Committee (GB-A) innovation fund. The systematic implementation model of the network, based on work from Australia and Norway, is presented. After implementation and successful evaluation, it is planned to implement the needs-based, family-oriented forms of care of the network into standard care.
