Exploring clinicians’ experience of using Behavioural Family Therapy within an older adult community mental health service

This service evaluation summarises the experience of staff offering Behavioural Family Therapy (BFT) in a community mental health setting for older people. Semi-structured interviews were conducted to gather staff views and a Template Analysis was used to summarise feedback. This evaluation indicates that BFT were seen as beneficial to Older Adults (OA) across a range of mental health problems and adaptations were needed to support this patient group and their families.
