Family participation in care
Family participation depends on patient preference and clinical circumstances.
Philosophy of Care
Understand the person before treating the symptoms.
Care should be individualised to the person’s needs.
Patients and clinicians should make decisions together.
Recovery includes functioning and quality of life, not only symptom reduction.
Family support can be an important part of recovery.
Mental and physical health should be considered together.
