Summary

This article aims to explore carers’ experiences of mental health nurses and other mental health clinicians in regard to how they respond to them as carers of young people with first-episode psychosis. The study found two dominant themes, firstly, that many carers found mental health practitoners supportive and approachable; secondly, that some carers felt that practitioners undervalued their contribution. The conclusion was that carers have both positive and negative interactions with clinical staff and this can have an impact on their approach to care and future interactions.
