Abstract

Children of parents with mental health problems (MHPs) have been reported to be "at risk" of diagnosable psychopathology, as well for impairment in cognitive, social and school functioning. This chapter reports on a study that builds on earlier work documenting the mechanisms or risk and identification of protective factors that increase children's resilience towards adversity.
