The family is still the main basis for children psychological development, despite changes within its formation, structure and function in the last years. The child acquires within the family a sense of identity, capacity and own acceptance, as well as receiving a series of values charged roles that support the establishing of social identity, in a broader sense. The presence of mental illness in one of the parents may bring to family group adverse and critical situations to established relationships, with effects and consequences that can disturb the child s healthy development, as well as being a risk factor to abuse and future psychopathologies. The aim of this research was to analyze the relationship between the referral of children to psychological service and the presence of psychiatric disabilities in records of a Mental Health Public Service. Based on the information extracted from the registry in the children and their parents records, four categories appeared: 1- presence of mental illness in one of the parents diagnosed with CID; 2- presence of mental illness in any family member living with the child or responsible for her, such as grandparents and uncles clinically diagnosed with the CID; 3- reference to mental illness in one of the parents, without clinical diagnosis because there was not a file opened; 4- problems in family environment of the referred child, the four categories related with the motive of referral and kind of abuse. It may be concluded that there is a significant relation between symptoms presented by children and adverse situations in family environment, involving mental illness, crisis and conflict situations, as well as being an increased factor for abuse against the child. It s evident the need for a family intervention approach in those cases, including preventive actions in health and education.
