This video focuses on the community of Gheel, Belgium, in which over 650 psychiatric patients live with and are cared for by local families. The video shows the progress of the patients and, as you watch, you will note that many patients require lower levels of medication as a result of participation in family-care. As you watch the video, consider how the family-care system impacts the rest of the community.
