Summary

This chapter describes some of the interventions that currently exist for children, young people and families, those which have been evaluated and the results for these evaluations have been reported. More rigorous methodologies are needed to evaluate the effectiveness of interventions, to ensure that they, in effect, support children, young people and families. Comparison between interventions is difficult because they use different measures and compare different outcomes. The more effective interventions share core components but are also flexible to adapt to the specific needs of families. These core components include the provision of information, improve communication, emotional skills, increase social support and coping skills.
