Details of an innovative model for providing health education to families and patients using a coordinated series of skill-based educational opportunities are described. The model offers a variety of educational courses for parents of children at each developmental stage. Each course provides transferable skills that assist parents in caring for their children and/or managing their children's psychosocial problems. The development and evaluation of these educational opportunities, and the application of this program to patient education in paediatric settings are also discussed.
