An Education Program by the Medical Social Work Dept.
Date : 12th November 2011 (Saturday) Time : 9am to 5pm Venue : Emerald Room, MSW Department, IMH Free of charge
Caregivers Training Programme For caregivers of patients with Schizophrenia “Not everything that is faced can be changed. But nothing can be changed until it is faced” Caring for someone with schizophrenia is often challenging for families and friends. Caregivers are concerned about their loved one but are often frustrated, angry, and fearful as they attempt to manage the care of the person’s illness. Research has shown that when caregivers are armed with knowledge of schizophrenia and find support, they are able to help their loved one improve treatment results and cope better.
