We are a group of researchers and practitioners - psychologists, occupational therapists, counselors and policy analysts. We are parents and grandparents. Together, we have over fifty years of experience working with adults, children and families living with mental illness.

Parenting Well...

We believe that parenting is a significant role for most adults, and that parents want to do the best they can. Our book is based on a firm foundation of family-centered research conducted by our group and other scientists across the country, and translated into suggestions for day-to-day family life.

...When You're Depressed

The range of skill levels among parents with depression is probably no different from that among parents in general. We believe that all parents have strengths to build on.
