Caring for a young person who has a mental illness can be difficult and confusing. The Family Connections program was created to help family members of people with borderline personality disorder live better lives. It provides them with information and research on mental health and family functioning, coping skills, family skills and social support. Until now, there has been no research on the effects of this program on family members of people with other types of mental health challenges.

Importantly, this inventory will be updated over time to ensure its currency and breadth.
