Question

How to involve families and important relatives (non-professionals) in the care around the patient?

Problem description

We don’t always succeed to involve the patient’s own context, his social support system (family, friends, acquaintances…) and to valorise this in the care around an individual patient

Impact - effect

It’s not obvious to achieve a solid natural network around the client, and to keep the professional network as limited as possible (as part of the framework of empowerment and stimulating autonomy)

To do

To do : More attention for this, even more than today,  should be introduced in the daily work with patients (e.g. involving the people that are present during a home visit, including the preparation of the treatment plan), in the team (e.g. the FACT-board/Plan board : adding a column regarding the strengths of the non-professional network), in consultations situations (multidisciplinary consultation PSY, local client consultation, …)
