Psychoeducation
Edit

Psychoeducation is a structured educational intervention that provides individuals with mental health conditions—and often their families or caregivers—with evidence-based information and practical skills for understanding symptoms, treatment, coping strategies, and relapse prevention [1][2][3][4]. It combines education with guided self-management support, typically covering illness knowledge, medication adherence, early warning signs, stress management, and communication/problem-solving skills [1][2]. Psychoeducation is characterized by planned sessions, clear learning objectives, and application to daily functioning, rather than one-time informational advice [2][3][4]. In clinical and community settings, the term refers to this formal, therapeutic-educational process aimed at improving insight, engagement in care, and long-term outcomes [1][2][3][4].
