About the Webinar
This talk will introduce a family intervention for schizophrenia which draws upon clients’ religious and spiritual beliefs to help them cope with symptoms of mental illness. Attendees will learn to use a systems framework that helps the family view themselves as a team with shared mutual goals, accessing participants’ own cultural views of mental illness and incorporating this information into the therapy plan.
