The article describes the planning, aims, content, and outcome of 10 workshop sessions run by parents of young adults with severe mental handicaps for a group of professional staff from health and social services departments. It is considered that the sessions went some way towards breaking down the barriers between parents and professionals but that there is still a long way to go.
