Powerpoint Presentations

We have developed the following PowerPoint Presentations for use by community members and organizations, healthcare settings, and others for training purposes during discussions around caregiving and experiences of mental illness.

The first presentation reviews social issues that caregiving families face, such as stigma, and how old ideas of how families support each other can negatively influence public policy. The second presentation explores the idea of family systems and how ideas of families, caregiving, and coping with mental illness in the family have changed over time. Both presentations touch on relevant issues and present information in a way that is accessible to a broad audience. We have included presentation notes to provide further detail and guide discussions.
