Core Tip	Treatment engagement is a continuous, collaborative and dynamic process. Due to the multifactorial nature of non-adherence, need-based client-centered care would help reduce the treatment gap and improve their quality of life. Engagement can be improved by having a relationship of trust, empathy and non-judgmentality. Internationally, shared decision-making, peer support, family involvement and other psychosocial strategies have shown to improve engagement. Nurses, in collaboration with the multidisciplinary team, are capable of long-term engagement through psychoeducation, motivational interviewing and home visits. A tailored approach to engaging the clients through a strong therapeutic alliance is important for enhancing treatment outcomes and active participation.
