Family Leadership Academy
In recent years, services for children and
youth with emotional and behavioral health needs has moved rapidly toward a
team-based approach that seeks to include the family.
This desire for expanded family input
reaches beyond the individual family level. Families are also needed to
give input in their communities as providers and consumers collaborate
to provide a full spectrum of services. Finally, families are desperately
needed at the state level to voice their needs to legislators and agency leaders
to ensure that all children and youth across the state will receive the best
services possible.
The Family Leadership Academy
teaches family members and caregivers the skills they need to share their
voice with confidence.
