ISPS/IMH Conference Report
What's New in Recovery in Psychosis?
Making choises, developing resilience and seeking resolution in complex environment
I was fortunate enough to have been able to attend the ISPS conference in Swanwick in March this year. I am a care coordinator with a special interest in psycho-dynamic psychotherapy, working within an Early Intervention in Psychosis team in the North East of England and it was a great opportunity for me to meet with other like minded people .

The conference was well organised in a pleasant setting. A number of keynote speakers were invited where all produced thought provoking speeches. [More]
I found the conference good. It was nice to met new people and share my experiences, also hear other peoples experience of psychosis as I felt I wasn't alone. [More]
