“Let’s Talk About Children” is an evidence-based method that was developed by Dr. Tytti Solantaus in Finland to support parenting among parents with a mental illness and their children. In Finland, the safety of and evidence for this method have been reported, and this method is used in clinical practice. The intervention is low threshold, structured (but flexible) and applicable to various types of mental illnesses, recovery processes, and family experiences. Professionals can use this method of support in their everyday work.
We undertake the evidence-based works developed in the national project “The Effective Child & Family Programme”, which started in Finland in 2001. First, we completed the two versions of the Japanese edition of the handbook for supporting parents with a mental illness and their children. Second, we practice “Let’s Talk About Children” in Japan.
Now, we are also undertaking other support methods and will report on them.
