Effective Family

The Effective Family project aims to develop working methods that help provide support to families and children and prevent disorders in children when a parent has mental health problems or a severe illness. The methods are intended to be used by social and health care professionals, different co-operating partners and organisations.

The project aims to strengthen the preventive approach and build up co-operation between services for adults and services for children. Effective Family is a research, development and implementation project that covers the whole of Finland.
