Building Your Program
Building Your Program is intended to help mental health authorities, agency administrators, and family intervention coordinators think through and develop the structure of Family Psychoeducation programs. The first part of this booklet gives you background information about the evidence-based model. This section is followed by specific information about your role in implementing and sustaining your program. Although you will work closely together to build your program, for ease, we separated tips into two sections:
n Tips for Mental Health Authorities; and
n Tips for Agency Administrators and Family Intervention Coordinators.
In preparing this information, we could think of no one better to advise you than people who have worked successfully with Family Psychoeducation programs. Therefore, we based the information in this booklet on the experience of veteran family intervention coordinators and administrators.
