Outline of Final Research Achievements	Having reviewed development of web-based support programs for children in families with parental mental illness,I found that the Children of Parents with a Mental Illness (COPMI)in Australia had been conducting the most pioneering web-based support programs. Notably, the e-learning program of the "Let's Talk About Children (LT)" had a good enough usability. For developing the Japanese e-learning LT program, I conducted a pilot study for adapting the LT in Japan. Safety, feasibility, and acceptability of the Japanese LT were indicated in the research. In addition, I conducted the national survey on the actual situation and needs of support by the mental health professionals, who support parents with mental illness and their children and/or families. From the results of the study, I found some possible contents for the future web-based support program for children in the families with parental mental illness in Japan.
