47
The Family Guidance Center in Geriatric Psychiatry, set up in 2009 in the French department of Rhône, is a hospital-based team working at the request of professionals in the network. It is aimed at families who are struggling to cope with the loss of autonomy of a family member over the age of 65. Combining psychodynamic and systemic tools, this group treatment focuses on psychological aspects and elements of everyday reality. It encourages family communication in order to restore balance. It activates specific levers: intervention during the crisis, modularity of the framework, work on the environment, and the network. It offers six sessions, which are extendable and conducted at home, and overviews with partners. The system has temporal and geographical limitations. This experiment shows that it is possible to offer family care that can be linked to individual care and identified in the professional network, and is accessible to families who are not initially interested. This finding opens up the possibility of expanding the scheme.
