2. Providing psychoeducation group therapy.
3. Providing interaction with family members.
4. Teaching the client to embrace the future.

Rationale: Family members can benefit from psychoeducation groups designed to help them cope with their loved one's illness. Family psychoeducation programs have emerged as a strongly supported evidence-based practice in the treatment of schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, depression, obsessive-compulsive disorder, and borderline personality disorder. Family psychoeducation has also been found to reduce psychotic relapse and rehospitalization and to improve client recovery and family well-being. The other answers may be results of psychoeducation group therapy.
