Dr. Irwin will discuss health disparities for individuals with serious mental illness across the cancer continuum. She will review the development of a model of person-centered collaborative care, including findings from a recent randomized trial, and introduce a coalition dedicated to ensuring mental illness is never a barrier to cancer care.

Presenter: Dr. Kelly Irwin is an Assistant Professor in Psychiatry at Harvard Medical School and a faculty psychiatrist at the Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH) Cancer Center and MGH Schizophrenia Program. She is the founding director of the Collaborative Care and Community Engagement Program, a clinical and research initiative dedicated to improving cancer outcomes for individuals with serious mental illness in the Center for Psychiatric Oncology and Behavioral Sciences at the Mass General Cancer Center. 

This webinar will be co-hosted by the Massachusetts Psychosis Network for Early Treatment (MAPNET, www.mapnet.online)
