I highly recommend looking into NAMI (National Alliance of the Mentally Ill). They teach a 12 week course called Family to Family for family members of mentally ill people. One of the topics they cover is rights of families and patient advocacy.

You can go to NAMI: National Alliance on Mental Illness to find a local chapter and see if this course is being offered near you. Good luck!
