Abstract
SCDMH believes family participation in treatment is essential to the recovery process. To ensure we support the recovery of people with mental illness, our school-based clinicians are rated on providing 20% of family therapy within their EPMS review period. Providing 20% of family therapy has been difficult to reach with majority of our school-based clinicians over the past couple of years. This project was selected to explore ways to improve family engagement in treatment and determine barriers and strategies to increase family engagement with patients 18 and under.
