Barriers to implementation include staff lacking training, supervision and confidence, as well as organisations lacking resources and prioritising crisis\u2010focused interventions. Specific barriers in the early psychosis context include family readiness and interest, access limitations, and lack of perceived alignment with their needs and preferences. This paper describes and evaluates a pragmatic family education and support program in an Australian public mental health Early Psychosis service.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      This uncontrolled pre\u2010post study used routinely collected data. Data were retrospectively sourced from clinical and administrative records for the 2022\u20132023 period, during which a low\u2010intensity (four\u2010session) multi\u2010family group program was run on four occasions. A routine voluntary pre\u2010 and post\u2010participation survey was completed, which included consideration of the extent to which the program met participants' needs.

Despite the program's low intensity, it was reported to meet the needs of most participating families and caregivers. Participants reported significantly increased knowledge of psychosis and reported higher levels of coping with symptoms at post compared with pre\u2010intervention measures. An increased number of sessions attended predicted improvements in knowledge (limited to \u2018relapse\u2019) but not coping.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>A low\u2010intensity family education program in the early psychosis project may meet the needs of most families and caregivers who are willing to engage. However, improvements in coping were modest and variable across participants, and the clinical significance of this change should be interpreted cautiously. Such a program may be inadequate to consistently meet the needs of all families engaged with an early psychosis service. Public mental health services need to continue to find better ways to engage and support the families of people experiencing early psychosis.<\/jats:p>\n
