Presentation
Research Center for Family Based Intervention (FBI) is aiming at developing preventive strategies and early interventions for individuals at risk, both parents and offspring while also expanding our knowledge on environmental risk factors for development of mental illness. We are conducting register based research, qualitative research, process evaluation and randomized controlled trials. The largest one, VIA Family 2.0 started in 2024 and is investigating the effect of a multidisciplinary, holistic team-based intervention with preventive elements for families with parental mental illness compared to treatment as usual. We are collaborating with CORE (Psychiatric Center Copenhagen) in a large national cohort study, The Danish High Risk and Resilience Study VIA 7, 11 and 15, which as documented the increased risk of children born to parents with severe mental illness in several domains. Further we collaborate with Region Nord, Psychiatric Foundation, Team Arbejdsliv, UngeAlliancen and others. In the future, we aim to develop research projects that include families where a child has a mental disorder and develop family-based interventions for them as well
