Psychoeducation
Definition
From:
NICE Guideline NG53 - Transition between inpatient mental health settings and community or care home settings
Education sessions for people affected by mental illness and their families and carers. Psychoeducation uses shared learning to empower people to cope better. Sessions can cover areas such as recognising symptoms and triggers, preventing relapses and developing coping strategies. Carers learn how best to support the person. Sessions should start while the person is in hospital and run beyond discharge so the person can test approaches in their home setting.
