Courses and Trainings
Welcome to our online courses and trainings library! Part of the Federation's mission is to provide technical assistance to our network of affiliates and the families they serve and represent. In addition to our extensive library of resources, we are developing free, self-paced online courses and trainings for parents and the workforce alike. Topics will include those pertinent to the work of family-run organizations and that support family members, advocates, youth, and the workforce in their efforts to advocate for families whose children – of any age – experience mental health and/or substance use challenges during their lifetime.
Below is a list of the courses currently available. If you are interested in partnering with us to develop a free online course for our library, please email ffcmh@ffcmh.org.
