Family Perspective on Engagement with Early Psychosis Programs Across the United States

Parents, siblings and caregivers often experience fear, isolation, and confusion with their child’s onset of psychosis. A key component of the Coordinated Specialty Care model is family education and support. This is delivered in different formats: single family psychoeducation and support; multifamily groups; family therapy; and support groups. Family engagement throughout the course of treatment is a priority for all programs but remains a challenge for many teams. This webinar aims to address the following questions: How do early intervention programs engage families in treatment and build community? How do early intervention programs include and support families while also maintaining a strong alliance with young adult clients? How do we increase family engagement in all programs given stigma and other barriers to involvement? REGISTER HERE.
