New Publication Provides Road Map for System Transformation for Family Members, Educators, and Mental Health Professionals

A new report released from the USF Louis de la Parte Florida Mental Health Institute addresses challenges related to the welfare and functioning of America’s families and their children.

Family Driven Care: Are We There Yet? is offered as a road map for family members and middle level administrators in the education and mental health systems who are working toward effective systems that are family driven. The guide, written by Drs. Albert Duchnowski and Krista Kutash, is targeted to family members and middle level administrators in the education and mental health systems. In the education system, these would include principals and administrators charged with building special education and pupil services programs. On the mental health side, the guide should assist children’s mental health program directors in community mental health centers and other public sector provider agencies.
