Abstract(s)
In Portugal, the majority of people with mental illness live with their families, which play an important role in the treatment and rehabilitation of people with these conditions. Supporting families of people with mental illness is considered a key component in the psychosocial rehabilitation process (O’Doherty, Doherty, & Walsh, 2006). Given the central role of families and informal caregivers, it is critical to acknowledge their difficulties and needs to increase the effectiveness and scope of family interventions approaches (Vermeulen et al., 2015). Research indicates that effective support to informal caregivers enhance systemically the recovery of people with mental illness.
