Sammanfattning

Many children grow up in families with serious problems like addiction, mental illness and violence. Difficulties experienced by the adults may result in shortcomings in their parenting and increased risks concerning the children’s health, school difficulties and social exclusion. A national development work took place in 2011-2015 aimed to increase the knowledge and strengthen the support for these children and families. Examples of activities were establishing sustainable structures for social support, investing in development projects and focusing on skills development in addiction and addiction care. One conclusion is the necessity of sustainable overall structures to support children. Furthermore when parents seek help for their problems, family members should be offered support both as a family and as individuals.
