Support for carers and relatives

At Riverdale families and carers play an important role in supporting you through recovery.
We use the Maudsley Model of collaborative care. This aims to support families and carers, and keep them informed of your progress so that you recover more quickly.


The support we offer to families includes:


• Information and advice for families and carers
• One to one skills based learning sessions
• Group workshops to improve carers skills and to help support you effectively
• Family therapies
• A facilitated support group that we call Carers Forum
