The paper mail included a copy of Focal Point, the periodical from the Research and Training Center (RTC) on Family Support and Children’s Mental Health at Portland (OR, US) State University. As usual, it includes many worthwhile articles. It reminded me that I should reminder readers of EBD Blog about the RTC.
The Research and Training Center on Family Support and Children’s Mental Health was established in 1984 at Portland State University, Portland, Oregon with funding from the National Institute on Disability and Rehabilitation Research (NIDRR), U.S. Department of Education, and the Center for Mental Health Services, Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration, U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. The Center is dedicated to promoting effective community-based, culturally competent, family-centered services for families and their children who are, or may be affected by mental, emotional or behavioral disorders. This goal is accomplished through collaborative research partnerships with family members, service providers, policy makers, and other concerned persons.
The RTC is a valuable resource for people concerned with children’s mental health. It covers a wide range of topics and does so in a responsible and clear fashion. I bet that family members and service delivery practitioners will find it especially useful.

I am a newbie to the EBD blog, so I appreciate the fact you mentioned the RTC again. It looks like a good resource. I’ll also have to check out the ten-year-old site you mentioned in another post when I have time. Have a feeling my five-year-old is about to complain about the time I’ve spent on the computer this morning…
