"The videotapes will be invaluable in empowering families to become part of the treatment and rehabilitation process."

"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 it's 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."
Professor Ann Fleck-Henderson
Chair, Human Behavior and Social Environment Department
Simmons College School of Social Work, Boston, Mass.
"This is really exceptionally important work, both for the quality and the caliber of the presentation, and for the substance."
