Mental health professionals have the capability to identify children who are at risk of developing psychiatric disorders. Early intervention with these children can help prevent significant maladjustment and reduce their future need for mental health services. The authors review studies of environmental and temperamental factors associated with children's vulnerability and resilience to psychiatric disorders. The goals and effects of selected prevention approaches designed for preschool children, elementary-school-age children, and parents are discussed. Families in need of prevention services may be more likely to use these interventions if they are integrated into existing school programs and social welfare systems.
心理健康专业人员有能力识别有患精神疾病风险的儿童。对这些儿童进行早期干预有助于防止严重的适应不良，并减少他们未来对心理健康服务的需求。作者回顾了与儿童易患精神疾病及恢复力相关的环境和气质因素的研究。讨论了为学龄前儿童、小学适龄儿童和家长设计的选定预防方法的目标和效果。如果将预防服务纳入现有的学校项目和社会福利系统，有需要的家庭可能更愿意使用这些干预措施。
