PREP Webinar: Informal Carers’ Involvement in Psychiatric Hospitalization

Carer or family engagement has long been recognized as a key factor in promoting recovery and continuity of care during psychiatric hospitalization. This webinar provides an overview of empirical research, historical context, and evidence-based interventions that support carer involvement in treatment, discharge planning, and transition to community care. Participants will explore the benefits and challenges of collaboration, reflect on their own perspectives, and identify strategies for overcoming barriers to meaningful engagement.
