Core Treatment Component #3
FAMILY
EDUCATION
The Family Education Program teaches relatives and
other supportive individuals about psychosis and its
treatment. The goal is to strengthen family members'
abilities to help in their patient's recovery. If
possible, and with the patient's agreement, family
members and other supportive individuals are
included in all phases of their patient's treatment
planning. Participation of a family member or
guardian is required for patients who are 17 years
and younger. The goals of family education services
are to reduce the burden on the patient's relatives
and supportive others and to help relatives and
supportive others acquire the needed knowledge
and interpersonal skills to adapt to their new
circumstances and to support their patient's
recovery.View entire presentation
