3. Résumé

«The study suggests that the knowledge translation program implemented met the objectives and shows positive results.» (p. 95) «The most significant changes were observed at the practice level. They led to some individual or collective decisions. They also either showed immediate beneficial effects or they guided future actions and changes over a short-term period. These changes in practices are classified into five different categories of recovery-oriented practices.» (p. 93) One of these categories is the «Involvement and Engagement of Family and Key Individuals: This practice refers to the willingness to involve families and key individuals throughout the person’s care and recovery journey, from the very beginning of the process, not just when things go wrong. The data showed that most teams did not work closely enough with the person’s family or key individuals. This reflection led several teams to improve the ways in which they consider and understand the role of families and to initiate significant practice changes to improve their involvement and engagement of family and achieve better intervention outcomes.» (p. 93)
