This home-based mentoring and parent training curriculum model is designed
for serving families with a parent who has a psychiatric disability.
The program trains social workers and other mental health professionals
to become home-based family mentors. The Mental Health Association
(MHA) in Orange County, New York State, has found that this home-based
mentoring model works better than traditional parenting curricula.
