    Excerpt

    Mental illness in children affects the entire family. Children are dependent on their parents to help recognize and meet their needs, so education and support for both the child and the caregivers about disorders and treatment are essential. Various parent and family interventions have been developed for families with a child with a serious emotional or behavioral disorder. Table 39–1 lists distinguishing features of some of these programs.
