Designed for professionals and practitioners treating early psychosis, those with lived experience, family members, researchers, and students. Missouri’s EPC conference aims to bring to the forefront the importance of early identification and intervention as critical steps in reducing the impact of psychosis on affected individuals, their families, caregivers, social supports, and the community.
Drawing from current research and evidence-based practices, conference themes include, but are not limited to, the voice of lived experience and peer specialists, culture, trauma, and assessment, identification, and treatment.
