Psychosis conditions, including schizophrenia, are treatable mental health problems that can affect anyone although very few people talk about the conditions and their impact on families. Millions of people across the globe find themselves thrust unexpectedly into a role of providing support and care when a relative develops psychosis. Carers can play a major role in supporting their relative’s progress and recovery.

What’s holding you back?

You may be interested in taking the course because:

• you know someone with psychosis, perhaps your child, partner, sibling, parent or friend, and are providing support
• you are a professional working in a service or other mental healthcare organization, with an interest in psychosis and families
• you have an interest in mental health problems.

No previous knowledge of psychosis or experience of caring is required to take the course although some medical terminology is used. There are optional, additional materials for those who want to explore the topics discussed beyond the core material, some of which are academic papers.
