First-time primary caregivers' experience accessing first-episode psychosis services

This study highlights the important contribution and experience of first-time primary caregivers and the difficulties they face accessing services. The findings suggest access should be influenced more by clinical need and less by caregivers'perseverance. The findings also underline the importance of providing clinical training that acknowledges the needs and contributions of caregivers, as well as interventions that meet the unique challenges faced by first-time caregivers accessing services after the onset of FEP.
