The Family Interventions Team works in adult mental health services. The team provides training and supports staff to work with families.
The family work we support is called behavioural family therapy. This has been found to reduce stress within families and can help to reduce relapse in service users. It supports people to move forward, working together to increase understanding, build coping strategies, communication and problem solving skills.
