Education of family members

Project full name:

COMPREHENSIVE EDUCATION OF MENTAL HEALTH CARE CONSUMERS’ FAMILY MEMBERS
 



The families of people suffering from a serious mental condition are finding themselves in a very difficult life situation. In order to cope with it, they need help and support, the important part of which is abundant information (psychoeducation). Also very necessary is good knowledge of services available for mental health care consumers, as well as understanding of what their ways of work, aims and outlooks are.
The project involves education for the client families of the “Fokus Mladá Boleslav” organization through psychoeducational courses entitled “Mental health care consumer in the family” and study visits with Fokus Mladá Boleslav to a few Prague mental health care providers, as well as foreign providers in the Netherlands and Finland.
The project recipient is Fokus Mladá Boleslav (www.fokus-mb.cz). The project partner is the Centre for mental health care development, which is primarily in charge of the study visit programme, the concluding seminar and the accompanying materials.
