About this event
We know from decades of research that effective family and caregiver involvement in a patient’s treatment supports patient recovery, improves social connections and decreases mental health crises. It also improves family and caregiver well-being and can lead to lower healthcare utilization and costs. Despite their desire to help, many caregivers lack the education, skills or access to resources to step into this critical, unpaid role. Mollie Forrester, MSW, LICSW, will talk about the importance of family and caregiver involvement in a loved one’s mental health care and how UW Medicine’s new Family and Caregiver Training and Support (FACTS) program can help.
Registered participants will receive Zoom log on credentials and meeting ID closer to the date of the seminar.
