This paper reviews the literature on the efficacy of psychoeducation programs to improve the skills of residential care staff in managing these symptoms. The benefits and limitations of this approach are illustrated through presentation of case studies from clinical practice, with a focus on organisational and motivational factors. Preliminary data from a psychoeducation program delivered by an Aged Persons Mental Health Team are presented. Recommendations are made for future research and practice.
