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.
