Familie is een belangrijke partner in de forensische geestelijke gezondheidszorg! Om het belang hiervan aan te tonen is er binnen de IAFMHS associatie een nieuwe Special Interest Group (SIG) on Family Engagement ontwikkeld. Tijdens een webinar wordt de SIG geïntroduceerd en zal er ingegaan worden op wetenschappelijk onderzoek en interventies over hoe familieleden betrokken (kunnen) worden in de forensische zorg van een naaste. Het webinar, met onder andere dr. Sara Rowaert, vindt plaats op dinsdag 23 april om 16 uur en valt online te volgen. Registreren voor de zoomlink kan via onderstaande post!
🔺🔺 Join us for the FAMILY ENGAGEMENT SPECIAL INTEREST GROUP launch on April 23, 2024 at 4pm CET! 🔺🔺
🌟Policy papers and guidelines at international levels stipulate that family members in mental health settings should be actively involved in the care and treatment of the service user and supported in their role as carers. Within a forensic context, family engagement has gained interest over the years. Nonetheless, there remains a limited focus on evidence-based practices on how to collaborate with, involve, and support family members in the care trajectory of their loved one.
🌟To address this gap, an international network on Family Engagement has been established to bring together a group of (family) peers, academics, and practitioners with a shared interest in this topic. During this live webinar session, we will introduce the goals of this newly formed Special Interest Group (SIG) on Family Engagement as well as provide an overview on the existing research on the topics of of family interventions, family support, family recovery processes, and family perspectives. Finally, we will share some future research initiatives to further the international research and evidence-based practice in this field. The webinar will wrap up with a Q&A session and ways you can get involved as a family (peer), researcher, or practitioner.
