What is FPE?
Family Psychoeducation is a evidence-base practice. It is a way for families of a person with mental illness to learn ways to assist in recovery. Both consumer and family will be given neccesary tools which will allow for better communication and solve family easier. Participation in this program may result in fewer relapses, fewer symptoms and better relationships with family.
How Does FPE Work?
Introductory Sessions
Together or seperately, the consumer and family will meet with a practitioner. The practitioner will be informaed about goals, symptoms, medications, family problems or anything else that may be vital for recovery.
Educational Workshop
Families and Consumers will both learn more about their illness and how to help with recovery.
Problem-Solving Groups
Once every other week, consumer and family will identify and deal with problems that mental illness may interfere with recovery and life. There may be more than one family in each group, to share information or ideas on how to solve problems.
