Annotation

Family engagement requires a top-down, bottom-up approach where their input permeates the culture of systems, organizations, and programs. Positive outcomes are more likely to be achieved when family engagement is systemic, integrated and comprehensive. Being strategic in how families interact can improve the effectiveness of service delivery in the mental health system. Please watch this recording on Strengthening Systems, Services and Communities for Family Engagement and Leadership.
