PROMOTING MENTAL HEALTH AMONG CAREGIVERS OF PEOPLE WITH MENTAL DISORDERS DURING PANDEMIC THROUGH WHATSAPP GROUP

Abstract

Changes in all aspects of life due to the pandemic affect all levels of society without exception, including vulnerable populations such as people with mental disorders. Sudden changes in a short time can create challenges for both the patients and the families. A better understanding of the course of their illness and what preventive and promotive efforts can be made by families/caregivers during the pandemic can help improve their quality of life. Online education for caregivers/families aims to shape a better understanding of mental health and mental disorders.
