Instruction will begin with an examination of the theoretical and empirical foundations as leading to the development of family psychoeducation. More specifically, FPE Model structures will be presented with differential emphasis on FPE’s effect in working with adults and their natural supports with and without a co-occurring disorder. Population-specific content for adults will include information on schizophrenia and bipolar disorder.

This training is appropriate for social work practice levels of beginning and intermediate.
