Mental Health & Addictions North - COVID-19 Innovations: Educating and Supporting Families in Early Psychosis Intervention

Family education and support is a significant factor in an individual's recovery from a first episode of psychosis. With COVID-19 restrictions in place, many have experienced isolation which has increased stressors among families who are supporting loved ones.

See how CMHA Thunder Bay's Early Psychosis Intervention Program is connecting with families during these restrictions to help reduce the feelings of isolation, provide resources for coping with increased stress, and providing further information related to the pandemic and illness.
