Children living with a mentally ill person are at a significantly greater risk to develope short and long term mental health problems or psychosocial difficulties. The lack of and need for better knowledge and training of the child care professionals is underlined by the scientific community, as well as the lack of pan-European guidelines for promoting healthy behaviour in children of mentally ill parents.

Like in many cities and regions in Europe the structure of the society of the partner regions and cities of Q-AGEING project is changing radically with a relative increase of older workers (55-64), elderly people (65-79), and very elderly people (80+) and fewer people of working age. The Q-AGEING project is focuses on creating better conditions to enable active ageing by developing actions which will be concentrated on public services and urban living environment. Both aspects are interlinked. The social exclusion of ageing inactive people will increase if no actions in these fields are taken. The creation of activity/jobs for elderly will be more difficult if no innovation in public support is realized and the attractiveness of the urban environment and thus competitiveness will decrease if the changing needs of these large groups are not taken into account. Q-AGEING is a possibility for participating partners to get to know usable transnational examples and to check and adopt them in local communities. The main message of the project is that ageing provides an opportunity for the whole society and does not only generate problems.
