- Family members are involved in designing and planning all major Technical Assistance Center training and technical assistance activities.
- Family members are co-trainers and presenters at all major events sponsored by the Technical Assistance Center.
- Family members are involved in authoring and reviewing publications to ensure information reflects the viewpoints of families and is useful for them
- Family members are involved in evaluating National Technical Assistance Center activities and events and recommending improvements.
- Family members serve as liaisons to support family members attending events sponsored by the National Technical Assistance Center.
- The Technical Assistance Center partners with the Federation of Families for Children's Mental Health and the Technical Assistance Partnership to offer a Youth Leadership Track at our National Training Institutes.
