The Revised Family Crisis Handbook: A Mental Health, Stabilization, and Wellness Toolkit is now available online, at no cost.  This is an extremely valuable resource for individuals with disabilities who have a dual diagnosis, their families, and professional caregivers. A dual diagnosis (as defined by the National Association for the Dually Diagnosed - NADD) "is a term applied to the co-existence of the symptoms of both intellectual or developmental disabilities and mental health problems."

The Revised Family Crisis Handbook was written by Donna Icovino and Lucille Esralew, Ph.D., with a grant from the New Jersey Council on Developmental Disabilities. It was also supported with funds contributed by Community Access Unlimited.  See this link for the complete revised handbook.
