Participants will learn about the signs and symptoms of psychosis; the treatments that work; the promising directions in research; and the skills and strategies that may help engage this population in medical settings. Academic lectures are interspersed with interviews with expert therapists, psychiatrists, researchers, and people living with psychosis. After completing this activity, participants will be able to summarize the health disparities facing people with psychosis, determine reasons why these health disparities exist, and illustrate examples of communication styles that can help promote health in this population.
