Abstrakt: Children of parents with anxiety or mood disorders have an increased risk of developing an anxiety or mood disorder themselves. A qualitative review of different components of well-studied prevention programs shows that all programs use elements of psychoeducation. Programs that primarily target children often use elements of cognitive behavioral therapy. Programs aimed at the whole family contain components focused on communication between family members and parenting skills. In general, these prevention programs are effective in preventing short- and long-term anxiety/mood disorders and reducing existing symptoms in children. Future research should pay more attention to how and for whom the prevention programs are effective. Primary health care plays an important role in identifying children at risk, underscoring the importance of training professionals in early signaling psychopathology in parents and children. Children with mild complaints could be identified earlier, possibly preventing more serious problems and intensive treatment processes.
