Comprehensive interventions on the resources of children who are at environmental risk appear to have a relevant effect on their development. It also extends to a more functional menace coping. Having said that, for the intervention to last in time and even improve its impact on resources it must be intensive and continued along time. Results indicate that an ongoing, intense and controlled work, supported by scientific theories of development, may attain huge progress on the psychological resources of children under environmental risk which will enable them to successfully cope with the challenges they will encounter in life.
