N1  - ABSTRACT
The current scoping review aimed to provide an overview of family empowerment strategies used in relapse prevention among individuals with schizophrenia. Three major topics were explored: (a) the family empowerment model used in relapse prevention among individuals with schizophrenia; (b) family intervention strate-gies; and (c) special considerations for integrating family empowerment in relapse prevention among individuals with schizophrenia. There is a need to identify and use family resources and strengths, such as acceptance of schizophrenia, develop-ment of spirituality, involvement in daily activities, and understanding of behaviors that exacerbate symptoms, to reduce relapse risk. The family empowerment para-digm incorporates new information and coping skills, family support, meaning-making, life objectives, self-reflection, and good family experiences. Families as agents of care at home should be provided with stress management and family psychoeducation to improve family resilience. Further research is needed to un-derstand family empowerment and develop comprehensive guidelines regarding relapse prevention management among individuals with schizophrenia
