Course Description:
Comprehensive care, inclusive of the natural support network, is the gold standard for psychosis care. Family interventions must go beyond psychoeducation to incorporate empirically-supported coping, illness management, and communication strategies that can facilitate a therapeutic home environment. Previous efforts to deliver these family-focused interventions for psychosis demonstrate impressive effects but poor penetration in routine care settings. Psychosis REACH (Recovery by Enabling Adult Carers at Home) attempts to remediate this implementation bottleneck by bypassing the clinic and delivering the intervention directly to self-identified natural supports. The training is co-delivered by clinical experts and family members with lived experience using Psychosis REACH skills. This presentation will be co-delivered by members of the intervention development and implementation team at the University of Washington, Drs. Sarah Kopelovich and Helen (Trez) Buckland.
