LTC

Abstract

The main aim of the LTC project is to promote the mental health of children from vulnerable family backgrounds, such as families with mental illness, economic deprivation or difficulties in social integration. “Let's Talk About Children” will involve professionals from the areas of health, education and social action so that they can acquire new skills to work with families for the well-being of children.

“Let's Talk About Children”, a psychosocial evidence based intervention created in Finland by psychiatrist Tytti Solantus, centered on the child and the family, whose main objective is the promotion of children's mental health, as well as the prevention of the intergenerational transmission of mental health problems. This methodology includes the training of professionals who deal with families so that they can acquire specific skills, fundamental for them to recognize the psychosocial needs of children and their families at an early stage.
