Supporting someone with a mental health condition is a journey that extends far beyond the individual. Families, friends, and loved ones often step into the role of caregiver, organizing appointments, offering emotional support, and holding life together when things get tough. Yet too often, the needs of caregivers are overlooked. This month, we’re shining a light on caregivers, the power of our words, and the new tools we’ve created to make sure no one feels alone.
The Guardian Model™ is grounded in research and real-world application. Explore published papers that examine its development, implementation, and impact on care coordination for individuals with serious mental illness.
