knowledge, skills, and practical assistance provided by trained professionals who are also parents or caregivers. The goal of these supportive services—often called family support services—is to assist other parents or caregivers to advocate for and actively participate in treatment planning for their children.The studies described in these papers were deliberately positioned to align with the major shifts in healthcare delivery that are shaping mental health services in the future. Specifically, the studies address issues about three of the large changes to the healthcare system that are occurring, namely:(a) new workforce training competencies;(b) development and testing of quality indicators in the workplace; and (c) organizational supports in agencies to sustain changes and improve outcomes. In short, these three changes provide the impetus for the creation of a new system of family support services. We will first provide a brief background to the three system problems that are being addressed through the healthcare changes: workforce shortages; fragmentation and poor quality; and disorganized organizations. Second, we outline some of the problems that healthcare reform is trying to address, changes that are redefining the contours of the mental health system. Third, we describe the contributions that the five papers in this volume are making to align with these healthcare changes.
