New Project Dialogical Work with Children and families in Germany (Saarland)

Dear Open Dialogue community,
we (Ivita Rheinland-Pfalz und Saarland gGmbH) have been asked to create a new project with the local authority within Children and Families services. Here we will work with families where at least one parent has mental health problems. THe indicators for working with us are multiple and complex. We will be working as a dialogical team with expertise in mental health crisis intervention.
But we are just starting out to work with children and adolescents; thus far we have worked within adults mental health services.
So we would be really happy for any input from experienced services and clinicians in this field.
I am looking forward to hearing from you
Kind regards
Julia
