Exploring service user and family perspectives of a Culturally adapted Family Intervention (CaFI) for African-Caribbean people with psychosis: A qualitative study

CONCLUSIONS: CaFI was found to be an acceptable intervention for African-Caribbean service users with psychosis and their relatives. Family interventions considering the needs of ethnic and cultural groups have the potential to improve the mental health care and experiences of service users and their families.PRACTITIONER POINTS: The Culturally adapted Family Intervention (CaFI) was viewed as acceptable to African-Caribbean service users with psychosis and their families. Through adapting interventions to be more culturally sensitive, it is possible to enhance the care of those who typically have poor engagement with mental health services. In-keeping with their ethos of individualized care delivery, mental health services should place more emphasis on being able to offer appropriate, culturally adapted interventions to their service users.PMID:33651377 | DOI:10.1111/bjc.12273
