The missing voice of engagement: an exploratory study from the perspectives of case-managers at an early intervention service for first-episode psychosis

Abstract

This study illustrates the challenges that case-managers face when working with young people with first-episode psychosis, and the direct influence this has on engagement with treatment. Understanding these challenges and addressing them in policy and service design may lead to improvements in young peoples' recovery from first-episode psychosis and increase case-manager job satisfaction.
