People do not develop mental illness in isolation. It does not only impact on the person it affects. Many people are involved in every situation. Each individual only knows part of the story.
When service providers recognise family and other carers, receive information from family and other carers, respect the needs of family and other carers, refer family and other carers for additional information and support if necessary, and work together with consumers and carers as partners in care, there will be improved outcomes for consumers; reduction in family and carer anxiety; improvement in ability and desire of family and other carers to remain supportive; and improved satisfaction for staff.
Access our free online library for resources, articles, fact sheets, training modules and other practical resources to support carer inclusive practice.
The six Partnership Standards are designed to improve outcomes for consumers by combining the knowledge and skills of staff with the knowledge and lived experience of family and other carers in a partnership approach to service delivery across all settings.
Service providers and practitioners can now self-assess against the 6 Partnership Standards in the Guide using the Carer Guide App and Reporting Portal.
