Summary:

"In this instructional video, a panel of caretakers talk candidly about their family members' mental illness and how they have found support in their most challenging times. The panelists' candid discussions of their experiences with schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, and addiction not only illustrate the day-to-day struggles of those living with mental illness, but also shed light on the less discussed challenges of family members. This perspective gives viewers useful insight into the impact of mental illness on the family dynamic, and the critical role of the caretakers. The family members featured in this video also share helpful skills they've mastered over the years as well as their own methods of self-care. By watching this video, you will better understand the ever-changing challenges of someone with mental illness and the impact the illness has on family members and relationships; learn about the role of caretakers and the skills loved ones in this position must master; and gain an understanding of the importance of self-care for caretakers and hear several examples of effective self-care. Intended for students and practitioners in clinical psychology, counseling, social work, and related health professions." Supplied by publisher.
