VISIONS FOR TOMORROW consists
of a series of workshops for direct primary caregivers of
children and adolescents with mental illness/serious emotional
disorders (SED). Participants in Visions for Tomorrow should
be those who are direct caregivers and, depending on family

grandparent), respite care provider, or foster parent.
