1. To successfully implement self-management, psychiatrists need to encourage patient education.

3. Patients and carers need to develop both knowledge and skills for successful self-management.

4. Patients and carers will easily find resources and support agencies without the help of the psychiatrist.

5. A good starting point for the patient and carer is for the psychiatrist to provide details of self-help and support groups.

6. Many patients find that a healthy lifestyle has a positive effect on their general well-being.

7. Self-management programs are only useful in disease-specific illnesses such as arthritis.

8. CALD patients and carers require culturally-appropriate translated information.

9. Patients with a serious mental illness who have young children need accessible support groups, greater resources and reassurance that their children will not be removed from their care.
