Written in collaboration with members of the National Alliance of the Mentally III and field tested in NY, CA, NM, VA, OR and TX, this module provides detailed, step-by-step instructions and guidelines for professionals and paraprofessionals who are working clinically with the seriously mentally ill and who must develop collaboration with family members. The manual includes sections on how to form an alliance with family members, bringing relatives and consumers into the treatment team, providing education, information and coping resources to families, and teaching communication and problem-solving skills. There are sections for working with the relatives of mentally ill children and adolescents, mentally ill offenders, and ethnic and cultural minorities. Sample sessions and dialogues are provided and a DVD or VHS TAPE for demonstrating family coping skills can be used in psycho-educational programs.
