Qualitative Study of NAMI Homefront Family Support Program
Community Mental Health Journal(2020)
摘要
The National Alliance on Mental Illness’s Homefront program is a 6-week peer-taught program for family members of veterans and active duty soldiers. Homefront is associated with increased empowerment, coping, and knowledge, but little is known about member experiences. This study used telephone interviews to identify program components that are helpful or need improvement, and to compare the online and in-person program formats. Seventeen participants (7 online) and 17 instructors (3 online) were interviewed and qualitative data analysis suggested that the most helpful components were group discussion, lessons on veteran-specific issues, and coping skills workshops. Some suggested expanding Homefront to 8 or 10 weeks. The online program was convenient for those unable to attend otherwise, but participants cited some dissatisfaction with the discussion format. Instructors described teaching the program as rewarding and noted learning from the curriculum. Understanding the experiences of participants may inform the development of future psychoeducation programs.
