Description
The diagnosis of psychosis can be traumatising and stigmatising for families and they can subsequently feel burdened, stressed and overwhelmed. Family work can enhance family involvement, support and engagement with services whilst also reducing family and carerstress. This one-day workshop will provide participants with practical skills and knowledge to apply to working with families of young people experiencing psychosis.
This event will cover:
- the rationale for family work in the context of a young person’s mental health treatment;
- challenges and constraints that may arise when implementing family work with this complex client group
- practical strategies to engage families, particularly early in the young person’s treatment
