The service is committed to providing families and friends with information about psychosis and support. A range of services are also provided to meet these needs, including family and carer support, behavioural family therapy and carer support groups.
Service data indicates that from a sample of 102 service users 80.4% had their families involved in their care.
In line with offering a combined healthy eating and physical activity programme the service is also piloting the Supporting Health and Promoting Exercise (SHAPE) physical health intervention programme, which uses the expertise of nutritionists, exercise physiologists and health trainers. It is a structured and intensive 12-week course with follow-up over 12 months, which includes a group educational programme and individually tailored exercises sessions.
