A qualitative study exploring the acceptability of a telehealth intervention for family members of people experiencing a first episode psychosis: PERCEPTION
Broadly speaking, PERCEPTION was experienced as acceptable, with the convenient, safe, and supportive environment, and challenges in engagement being highlighted by participants. Data point to a gap in service provision for long-term self-care support for relatives to reduce carer burden. Providing both in-person and online interventions, depending on individuals' preference and needs, may help remove barriers for family members accessing help.
