DescriptionThis research line aims to improve family-focused approaches to mental health care by implementing effective strategies and developing and testing improved strategies. Professionals in child and adolescent mental health care services and adult mental health care services receive guidelines they can put into practice in order to give families optimal care. Questionnaires, focus groups and interviews are used to gather insights from professionals as well as information on effectivity from parents and their children.
Longitudinal databases that include genetic data are used to improve the identification of families that are vulnerable for a less favourable course in order to provide more intense treatments to those in highest need.
