Treatment Philosophy
Person-centred, collaborative and focused on recovery.
Person-Centred, Not Only Symptom-Centred
Schizophrenia affects each person differently. We believe good care starts with understanding the individual: their experiences, strengths, family circumstances, physical health and goals.
Treatment is therefore personalised and reviewed regularly as needs and goals change.
Our Guiding Principles
- Respect and dignity for every person
- Decisions made together with the individual
- Evidence-informed treatment
- Family and caregiver involvement where appropriate
- Recovery goals that go beyond symptom control
- Regular review and adjustment of the plan
