Description

Nine authors led by Oladunni Oluwoye lay out a trial plan to lift family engagement in early psychosis care. Team care for a first psychosis spell works best when kin join in, yet many kin stay at the edge. A past pilot plan, called FAMES, used culture-fit talks to draw kin in and showed gains. This trial tests that plan at scale in nine care sites, rolled out in three waves.

Each site first takes a plain care group of kin-patient pairs, then a like group on the new plan. Scores track engagement first, then stress and strain in kin. Inner marks such as drive and trust are read to show how the plan works. An equity pack helps sites fit the plan to each culture. Gains by group will show if the pack earns its keep.
