Abstrakt: A new approach to services for children with serious emotional disturbance and their families calls for the development of systems of care. Family members participate in all aspects of service delivery, including designing, developing, and delivering services. Training and technical assistance are essential, as service providers need new skills in working with children, family members, service providers, and others in the community; and a new understanding of integrated, community-based services. Technology offers new possibilities for delivering such training. In North Carolina, the Internet is used to share information, plan training events, provide training, and exchange materials among training coordinators located around the state.
