What we do
Our program is dedicated to providing support through education to individuals who are supporting a young adult with psychosis. We understand the challenges and complexities that come with this role, and our program is specifically designed to empower participants with the knowledge and skills needed to effectively navigate this journey.
Our program is built upon a strong foundation of lived experience and expert knowledge. We bring together a diverse team of healthcare professionals who specialize in mental health, as well as individuals who have personal experience in supporting their own loved ones with psychosis. This unique combination allows us to offer a comprehensive and holistic approach to education and support.
Our interactive and informative nine-week course covers a wide range of topics related to psychosis. Participants will gain valuable insights into effective communication strategies, self-care techniques, understanding the biology of psychosis, and much more. Our curriculum is thoughtfully designed to address the specific needs and challenges faced by individuals in this role.
To ensure the continuous improvement of our program and contribute to the field of mental health, our course is currently being conducted as a research study. Participation in the course requires active involvement in the study. By participating, individuals not only benefit from the knowledge and support provided but also contribute to the advancement of research in this important area.
Join us on this journey as we work together to enhance understanding, build resilience, and create a positive impact in the lives of those supporting loved ones with psychosis.
