title: Providing support for families.
abstract: Schizophrenia is a major mental illness and the impact of family relationships on the condition has been widely debated. Using a care study, this paper shows how mental health nurses are beginning to forge improved relationships with people with schizophrenia and their families by offering information on schizophrenia and concentrating on the clients' and families' strengths.
