This workbook is intended for use by family leaders. It is the result of an eightpart web‐based training by the same title provided by the National Federation of Families for Children’s Mental Health. Others may find the material useful, but will have to make adaptations for the language that is specific to children’s mental health. We hope the contents will be useful both in workshop or training sessions as well as for those individuals trying to improve their knowledge and skills on their own. We encourage use of any parts of this workbook, but request that you give acknowledge and give credit to the National Federation of Families for Children’s Mental Health. We welcome feedback on this workbook and are especially interested to know how useful people may find it and what specific improvements should be made.
