The role of provider-family partnerships for people with complex needs
Manage episode 485408658 series 2934054
In this episode we are discussing the importance of provider-family partnerships for people with complex needs.
Cheryl Jameson is our guest and she was in conversation with Emily Webb, host of this podcast, at the Complex Needs Conference in late March for the lived experience stream.
A mental health support worker of many years, Cheryl found herself on the other side of systems when her eldest child Josh was 16 and developed psychosis. He was diagnosed with schizophrenia, which was drug-resistant for many years.
We discover how her family has navigated systems and worked with providers to ensure Josh has the support he needs and wants.
Josh gave his consent for his mum to speak to us about their journey so far.
