Aims and method An education-based course for parents of adolescents with mental health problems is described.

Results Thestructureof the 12-week course evolved in response to parental requests. Parents were enabled to access support which they felt was in accessible before the course.

Clinical implications Basing an intervention for parents of distressed adolescents in an educational frame may be more acceptable currently than using a psychoeducational frame.
