Family Members and Caregivers
Engaging family members and caregivers in the care of people with serious mental illness is widely regarded as a core component of successful treatment and recovery. We begin this month’s collection by highlighting the experiences of family members and caregivers of individuals with serious mental illness, including the psychological and financial impact they often face. The collection then focuses on several articles describing the importance of family member and caregiver involvement in the care process, including shared decision making during and after hospitalization. Next, the collection provides examples of key articles that have helped establish the evidence base for family education and other family support services. Finally, we present articles on family-to-family programs, an effective and generalizable model for family education. We include an article that describes a family support program targeting family members of veterans and active duty soldiers. As a whole, this collection offers the opportunity to better understand the unique issues facing family members and caregivers of people with serious mental illness, as well as services that have the potential to improve their own experiences and the recovery of their loved ones.
