The Role of Family in Mental Health Care: Approaches to Empowerment and Mental Well-being Enhancement

Abstract

This study focuses on analyzing the role of families in mental health care and approaches to empowerment and mental well-being enhancement. This descriptive documentary study compiled data from research and related literature between 2018-2022 to analyze the importance of families in the mental health recovery process. The findings revealed that families play a crucial role in providing emotional support, social care, and empowerment to mental health patients. Family involvement in the treatment process results in better adaptation and recovery. This study proposes approaches to developing family capabilities in caring for mental health patients, which include knowledge provision, skill training, and support network creation. These findings are significant for developing policies and practical guidelines for participatory family-centered mental health care.
