Early Intervention for Psychosis Programs: Guidelines and Best Practices
The purpose of the webinar series was to offer participants current evidence-based information about providing services and treatment for first episode psychosis. In this series of four webinars, experts discussed evidence-based models and their implementation. They also reviewed effective services and treatments for this clinic population.
As a follow-up to the introduction on September 22, 2016, this webinar focuses the best practice discussion to:
- Models of EPI implementation across different settings (e.g., urban, academic, community, rural, remote north)
- Case study from two province-wide surveys about the use of networks to deliver EPI services
- Tips to identifying and implementing system-wide measures
