This workshop will describe a training designed for family and loved ones of individuals with psychosis that applies principles and skills from an evidence-based treatment for psychotic spectrum disorders, called Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for psychosis. Psychosis REACH (Recovery by Enabling Adult Carers at Home) made its US debut in Seattle on May 14, 2019. This workshop will explore the need for systematic and widespread dissemination of this training program, and makes the case that Washington—by virtue of state and philanthropic investments toward improving the quality of care for psychosis—provides fertile ground to embed and expand efforts that involve family members in their loved ones’ care.
The workshop will be presented by Northwest MHTTC Co-Director and Faculty, Maria Monroe-DeVita with Research Study Coordinator, Bryan Stiles at the NAMI Washington 2019 Annual State Conference. Northwest MHTTC Training Director, Sarah Kopelovich collaborated on the presentation.
