Families Coping with Mental Illness

Resource Type

Video - Parent

Description

"'This videotape shows real people talking about their experiences with the mental illness of family members. It conveys, as no textbook can, their struggles and their wisdom. One theme is the profound importance of respectful, informative, and sensitive professional response - and its too frequent absence. Professionals in training should see this tape. It is a powerful learning tool, particularly for social workers and others attempting to help families cope with mental illness.'" -William A. Anthony, Ph.D., Executive Director, Center for Psychiatric Rehabilitation, Boston University [from the website]
