Description of Collaborative Activity: |
With the rapid expansion of evidence-based early psychosis care in the U.S., largely the result of the successful NIMH-funded Recovery After an Initial Schizophrenia Episode (RAISE) initiative, additional clinician training on early psychosis is needed. The National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH), in collaboration with the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA), sponsored a meeting entitled, "Advancing Early Psychosis Care in the United States: Innovations from the Field," on October 7, 2018. The meeting was held as a pre-conference event in conjunction with the International Early Psychosis Association's biannual meeting in Boston. More than 300 clinicians and other professionals working in the early psychosis care field attended the event. NIMH staff served on the planning committee and as presenters. |
