Summary

Solid recommendations that are responsive to a family's unique blend of resources, priorities, and cultural values help advocates of caregiving families and graduate students preparing for human services careers build networks of family support. Here is a thought-provoking, critical analysis of the current family support system that identifies the policy and practice changes needed to bolster family well-being and foster individual growth.
Written by leading researchers and advocates working with people with developmental disabilities, chronic illness, acquired brain injury, mental illness, emotional or behavior problems, Alzheimer's disease, or physical disabilities, Redefining Family Support outlines creative and versatile programs and funding options for addressing the diverse needs of families.
