Mental diseases are associated with high levels of distress in various areas of life for those, who are affected. Taking a closer look at the social circumstances, not exclusively the people themselves but also their family members are affected, especially children. In adult treatment these children are often neglected, even if they have a higher risk of suffering a mental illness themselves. A huge amount of this risk is related to the special family environment children are often exposed to right after birth. We already find prevention programs helping these children and their parents to protect their mental health. These programs largely differ regarding parental psychopathology, setting or intensity. This article gives an overview of the special circumstances these children may be confronted with and hence derivates possible starting points to support affected families. A few existing programs will be described in detail. Empirical findings presented in the article give hope for the effectiveness of already existing programs and besides highlight the need for further research and changes in the care system.
精神疾病会给患者生活的各个方面带来高度痛苦。仔细审视社会环境，不仅患者自身，其家庭成员尤其是孩子也会受到影响。在成人治疗中，这些孩子常常被忽视，即便他们自身患精神疾病的风险更高。这种风险很大程度上与孩子出生后常常置身的特殊家庭环境有关。我们已经发现有预防项目在帮助这些孩子及其父母保护他们的心理健康。这些项目在父母精神病理学、设置或强度方面差异很大。本文概述了这些孩子可能面临的特殊情况，并由此推导支持受影响家庭的可能切入点。将详细描述一些现有的项目。本文呈现的实证研究结果为现有项目的有效性带来了希望，同时也凸显了进一步研究以及护理系统变革的必要性。
