Description

Signe Heuckendorff and colleagues set out a 2026 trial protocol for VIA Family 2.0, a team-based program for families where a parent lives with mental illness. Children of such parents face higher risks of mental health problems and developmental delays, partly because parental symptoms can disrupt care, routines, and stimulation at home.

The planned randomized trial compares the multidisciplinary program with standard treatment. It enrolls 304 children aged 3 to 17 and 128 children aged 0 to 2 whose parent received psychiatric treatment in the past three years. Readers get a clear map of the intervention, the groups studied, and the outcomes the trial will measure.
