Description
Early intervention for psychosis now has a wealth of evidence built up over more than 25 years and it is important that clinicians translate this evidence base into their clinical practice to promote recovery outcomes for young people and their families. This workshop will provide an overview of the rationale and evidence behind this approach and introduce the core skills and interventions necessary to intervene and provide care to young people experiencing a first episode of psychosis (FEP).This event will cover:
- the evidence base behind early intervention for psychosis;
- recognise the importance of engagement with young people and families in the assessment and treatment of FEP
- strategies for effective provision of psycho-education
- the importance of using a formulation-based approach to inform therapeutic interventions
- exploring and working with young people’s individual explanatory models;
- identifying and managing therapeutic ruptures
