Core intervention: Psycho education

with NiceDay Version 1.0 - February 2023

What is psychoeducation?

Psycho-education is the provision of information about the treatment, the complaints, the diagnosis and the choice of techniques and interventions. In addition, advice is given on how a client - as well as their loved ones - can best deal with the symptoms. Psychoeducation motivates and activates a client and can normalize symptoms.

When do you provide psychoeducation?

Psychoeducation is an integral part of the treatment and is given at the beginning, when starting new interventions, and when a client does not understand something.
