Madness Radio: Family Homes Carina Håkansson
What if ordinary families could provide care for people psychiatry has
given up on? Is there a way out for people stuck long-term as mental
patients? Can human relationships and living together be more
effective than medications, diagnosis, and hospitals? Carina
Hakansson’s values wouldn’t allow her to work in the traditional
psychiatric system in Sweden. She left to create the Family Care
Foundation, providing foster homes, therapy, and supervision for
people with psychosis and extreme emotional distress. What can we all
learn from this visionary — and simple — solution?
