Abstract
Mental ill-health is a product of many interacting risk and protective factors in a number of domains, including genetics, family environment, nutrition, education, income, housing and social conditions. In order to break the intergenerational cycle of poverty and mental ill-health in scarce-resource contexts, developmentally timed interventions across the lifespan are needed to mediate positive mental health outcomes through promoting resilience within the context of risk.-
