Carer involvement in the transition from inpatient to community mental healthcare: Experiences of stakeholders
Introduction: The involvement of informal carers (family and
friends) in the care of people with severe mental illness (SMI)
contributes to positive clinical outcomes, such as relapse prevention
and symptom reduction. To date, the care pathway between
inpatient and community care is not clearly defined impeding the
smooth transition for patients, whilst carers are still barely involved
in shared decision-making processes
How to involve carers in the acute care: An online training for clinicians across four sites in England
Involving carers in the care of people with severe
mental illness is known to bring positive treatment and psychosocial outcomes. However, evidence-based procedures to guide
clinicians on how to involve carers in the acute care are lacking.
Objectives: To provide an online training to clinicians working in
the acute care regarding the organisation of a standardised meeting
with the service user and their carer within the first week of
hospitalisation, and explore their views after its implementation

Prevalence studies show that, in the first years of resettlement, only post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) rates are clearly higher in refugees than in host countries' populations. Five years after resettlement rates of depressive and anxiety disorders are also increased. Exposure to traumatic events before or during migration may explain high rates of PTSD. Evidence suggests that poor social integration and difficulties in accessing care contribute to higher rates of mental disorders in the long-term. Policy and research implications are discussed
Editorial: How the COVID-19 security measures have influenced the psychological therapies procedures and therapeutic elements
The COVID-19 pandemic brought major changes in mental health services. Clinicians and service users had to face challenges related to the restrictions for attending appointments, as well as the physical distancing and mask-wearing practices during the less frequent face-to-face therapeutic sessions. To achieve service continuity in mental health care, services had to rapidly shift to a new form of service delivery, transitioning from purely face-to-face to online, or hybrid modalities
