OpenDialogue

OpenDialogue is a mental health approach that emphasizes open, honest communication among individuals involved in a person's care—such as family, friends, and professionals. It promotes immediate, collaborative conversations to understand the person's needs, reduce feelings of isolation, and foster recovery within a supportive network. The approach values transparency, active listening, and shared decision-making, aiming to create a safe environment where individuals feel heard and empowered. OpenDialogue has shown promising results in treating mental health issues like psychosis, often leading to better outcomes and stronger social connections.
