Dementia imposes substantial medical, social, psychological and financial costs on patients, their families and friends, as well as on health and social services. The progressive nature of the illness and the ageing of the population mean that many people with dementia will require intensive support and/or long-term residential or nursing home care.

Family and friends can be incredibly helpful resources in treatment if the client has a good relationship with them. As mentioned in Chapter 1, if the client has strained relationships with a certain family member or friend, it may not be wise to include that person if his or her participation threatens the client. In other instances, the client simply may not want the person to be involved. Therapists and clients should make certain that the client does want family members and friends involved prior to a therapists or counselors contacting them. Ethically speaking, it is important to respect the wishes of your client with regard to collateral involvement in therapy or treatment. Legally speaking, it is important for consent to be provided by the client for a therapist or counselor to speak with collaterals or to involve them in the therapy process. 

Treatment plans are a first step toward getting collaterals interested in treatment. One problem that I have seen while working with some clients is that although they would like their families involved, their family members feel somewhat excluded by the way treatment works. In many cases, what happens in therapy and treatment is more of a mystery to family and friends than it is to a client. Family and friends feel left out if not actively invited to participate by therapists or counselors (when the client assents to such participation), and if not adequately educated about what treatment entails. Family and close friends should be oriented to treatment in the same way as are clients. Involvement in treatment planning can be a way to orient family and close friends as well as to gather helpful information about the client and his or her world. If collaterals understand treatment better, then they will be more likely to support it. 

Another way to include collaterals is to offer treatment services to them as well. Many treatment facilities offer such services, which may include family support groups or even individual therapy for family members of clients. Some treatment centers include family therapists specifically for these purposes. Sometimes counselors and therapists will refer family members to outside support groups, which may include Al-Anon or Alateen 12-step programs for family and friends. Family therapy may include assessment, sometimes using similar measures discussed earlier for assessing client needs, in order to more adequately help family members with their needs. In some cases, these assessments may be used to develop a family treatment plan or an individualized treatment plan for a family member. 

A Word to Family and Friends About the Advantage of Being Involved... 

In further analyzing how the crisis influences consumers, Smith et al. (1999) discovered that confidence in all sources dropped after their announcement of a BSE/Creutz-Jakob disease (CJD) crisis in March of 1996 in Great Britain. Consumers were asked about seven different information sources, as well as the extent to which I trust the following sources of information in terms of the advice they give about the safety of meat/ BSE. Although confidence in all sources dropped, the confidence in family and friends dropped the least. 

When reaching the end of the path, I would like to share this moment with family and friends and thank them for their continuous love and support during this challenging period of life. 

Our appreciation is also extended to our families and friends, without whose consideration and patience it would not have been possible to write this book. 

When you have settled on a place to study, you will need to enlist the help of your family and friends—especially if you are working at home. Be sure they know that when you go to your room and close the door to study that you do not want to be disturbed. If your friends all go to the same coffee shop where you plan to study, you will also need to ask them to respect your study place. The cooperation of your family and friends will eliminate one of the greatest potential distractions. 

Positive feedback. You can use your study plan to provide positive feedback. As you work toward the test date, look back at your plan and remind yourself of how much you have already accomplished. Your plan will provide a record of your steady progress as you move forward. You can also enlist the help of study partners, family, and friends to help you stay motivated. Let the people in your life know about your study plan and your progress. They are sure to applaud your efforts. 

In some coxmtries, when women are infected with HIV, they often face physical and emotional violence. As a result, they are often abandoned by their families and friends and also osfracized by fheir respective communities. Fear of violence not only prevents women from accessing information abouf HFV/AIDS, it prevents them from getting tested. 

The second force is the desire to ameliorate, prevent, and cure mental illness. Mental illness is the cause of enormous human suffering, both to the victims and their families and friends. Beyond that, the social and economic costs are huge. 

Football coach Tom Landry was known for his cool demeanor and kind nature. He was the first head coach for the Dallas Cowboys and held the position for over 20 years. His t-bars clearly reflect the winning style of the 70 s Dallas Cowboy teams. He passed away in 2000 to an outpouring of emotion from family and friends. Notice the fluid thinking in the T and L of his name and the high t-bars throughout the writing.
