About

TIER 1 APPROVED

Since 2013, Healios has been commissioned across the UK by NHS Trusts, CCGs, local authorities and charities to deliver psychological interventions to people and their families/carers affected by mental illness. Healios has delivered thousands of psychological sessions and has demonstrated, by using validated scales, improved clinical outcomes. These outcomes include improved patient functionality, reduced substance use, reduction in overall burden and distress, increased treatment adherence, increased service user experience for both patients and families/carers, and more.

Healios's family intervention service is built upon components of behavioural family therapy, brief systemic family therapy, and underpinned by Healios’s proprietary five tier quality supervision model and Manual Rating Scale. Healios uses the best of modern technology providing video access to a trained clinician who works with the client and family/carer to deliver structured intervention to address their specific needs. Healios uses a variety of multimedia tools to support understanding and learning which helps facilitate engaging and interactive sessions. Each course will be structured around the needs of the family, as is the pace of delivery.
