The South Southwest MHTTC is thrilled to be hosting its 3rd First Episode Psychosis (FEP) conference!
The mission of this event is to bring together stakeholders with a commitment to improving and growing FEP services in the HHS Region 6 South Southwest area of the United States.
Pausing with Purpose: Guiding FEP Care with Human Connection, focuses on the crucial role of human connection in establishing effective FEP care. The theme underscores the importance of fostering genuine relationships among those involved in FEP care, including team members, young people in services, family, and other supporters, as well as connecting with ourselves.
It also acknowledges the importance of intentionally pausing. There are challenges to building genuine connections in fast-paced and often oppressive systems, and this conference highlights the power of the deliberate slowing of processes and interactions to deepen our connections.
We emphasize understanding oppression and advancement related to diversity in perspective, including incorporating lived experiences, marginalized or minoritized groups, and special attention to race, ethnicity, class, urbanicity, and language.
We invite those committed to transforming FEP care, including providers, researchers, and those with lived experience, to join us for the South Southwest MHTTC FEP conference. Let’s pause and reflect on how being in a relationship can drive FEP care.
