title: [Preventive work with children of mentally disordered parents--a multi-factor-conception].
abstract: Children of mentally disordered parents run an increased risk of getting such a disease themselves. The outcome of research on resilience and conclusions deduced from work experience with persons concerned and their relatives indicate that the strengthening of protective factors can reduce this risk. Based on this a multi-factor-conception of preventive work with children of mentally disordered parents and their families has been developed. It is the intent of this extensive approach to include all known protective factors and to promote them through an individualized combination of appropriate actions involving the children as well as their family system. This article lists and explains the specific elements of the catalogue of measures. Furthermore, it contains practical hints and imparts our learning experience.
