Good to know
More about family-centered care
Families play a large part in recovery. When relatives understand the condition and the treatment, home life is calmer and warning signs are spotted sooner. We invite family into care whenever the patient wants that.
This matters most for serious conditions such as schizophrenia and bipolar disorder, and for children and teens. We teach families about the condition and its medicines, early warning signs, and how to respond in a crisis.
Common questions
My adult family member does not want me involved. Can you still talk to me?
Privacy law limits what we can share without permission, but we can always listen to what you have observed. That information can help their care, and we can point you to family support resources.
