[Shared Responsibility!? Interdisciplinary Care for Children of Mentally Ill Parents From the Perspective of Child and Youth Welfare].

Families with at least one mentally ill parent require professional help from several support systems considering the different burdens and complex needs. When designing help and care programs, it is important to focus on the quality of interdisciplinary cooperation and communal networking. Case-related and cross-case cooperation requires binding work structures as well as an overall strategy at the local level. The recent final report to the German Bundestag by the working group "The Children of Mentally Ill Parents" emphasized the relevance of the topic while putting forward recommendations. This article outlines the current academic discussion as well as developments in the design process of interdisciplinary care programs from the perspective of child and youth welfare.
