Children of Mentally Ill Parents-Network - CHIMPS-NET

Summary

In order to identify psychological stress in children and adolescents of mentally ill parents as early as possible, four special intervention programs (CHIMPS-therapy, CHIMPS-Prevention-single, CHIMPS-MFT-group, iCHIMPS) have been developed.

With this current project, the four counseling approaches will be tested at 19 study sites in 12 federal states in Germany. Moreover, the interventions long-term efficacy will be evaluated.
