Part of the intervention consists of early identification of social-emotional problems in children and referral for further professional help.

Paired allocation into intervention group IG (N = 33) and control group CG (N = 33) is based on the number of risk factors identified in the family. IG and CG complete questionnaires at the baseline assessment (T0), at the post-test assessment (T1), and at the follow-up assessments after 6 months (T2) and 12 months (T3).
IG receive the ChildTalks+ intervention within 2 months after T0 and CG after the T3 assessment.
The ChildTalks+ Intervention ChildTalks+ is a preventive intervention originally developed in the Netherlands, targeting children up to 18 years of age. It has been implemented in Norway, Italy, and Portugal. It has a clear and well-described theoretical basis focusing on psychoeducation. Its key strategy is to provide feasible and replicable interventions to improve the quality of life of families where parents are affected by a mental disorder.
