What does Recovery Look Like?
Early psychosis intervention programs provide a holistic care approach to young people experiencing psychosis. Services may include counseling, family support and education, medication, and working with the person's school or place of employment. People experiencing psychosis often feel disconnected from their life and will need support in reconnecting to people and activities.
Optimal recovery is dependant on:
- working with a professional treatment team
- supportive family and/or other relationships
- reconnecting with old friends and building new social networks
- having a safe and stable place to live
- developing skills to reduce and manage stress
- having meaningful activities such as school or work
- choosing a healthy lifestyle
- adequate rest
- healthy food choices
- exercise
- avoid substances
Recovery times vary with each person. Treating psychosis early significantly increases the person's probability of being able to enjoy a healthy and productive life.
With Recognition, early Intervention and Access to supports, Life is worth living. Reality Rules!
