continuing care, mental health services, social work
services, and case management;
* Families learn how to appeal the system; and
* Families feel they are heard.
5. Promote the use of mental health services so
that:
* Outside consultation is available to families
working through the issue of having a child with a
chronic condition; and

familiar with the needs and stresses of families.

working family's needs and minimize loss of
school time for the children.
