OVERVIEW

Psychosis Sucks! Working with Young Adults Experiencing Severe Distress is organized by Psychiatric Rehabilitation Association (PRA) and Psychiatric Rehabilitation Foundation (PRF).

Opens: April 5, 2018
Closes: August 31, 2024

Description:
This webinar will provide an overview of current evidence-based understandings and unresolved questions about early interventions for young people diagnosed with psychosis.  Strategies to address and overcome the prevalent hopelessness and helplessness will be presented.  Approaches to educating and empowering TAY undergoing extreme distress will also be shared.  Practical interventions that can normalize disturbing experiences, decrease distress, and enhance effective coping will be discussed.

Learning Objectives:
• Discuss contrasting views and conceptualizations of psychosis and schizophrenia and their implications for psychiatric rehabilitation.
• Facilitate educational dialogues about psychotic experiences designed to normalize and increase the sense of hope and self-efficacy.
• Provide recovery-oriented education for coping and managing distress.
• Identify “one size does not fit all” alternative approaches, such as Hearing Voices Networks, for youth who may wish to avoid traditional, medical model interventions.
