Session Description
Organised by the EPA Section on Prevention of Mental Disorders. During the last decades there has been a wide discussion in scientific literature about the effectiveness of early intervention, with many aspects where early intervention has been shown to be a more effective treatment option than standard care. The core philosophy of early intervention treatment includes multi-professional teamwork. In this workshop we aimed to present examples from different countries with different health care systems and different resources for mental health care- how they manage to build and integrate early intervention teamwork. The speakers will guide the audience through their journey of clinical and organizational work with patients with first-episode psychosis. During the symposium we will cover treatment for all important stages of first-episode psychosis: from early detection to treatment in acute psychosis wards, and afterwards follow-up and prevention from second psychosis in early psychosis programs in community or out-patient care. At the end of the workshop there will be time for educational, motivational, and encouraging discussions with specialists who’s work includes clinical work and who have gained excellent experience which is complimented with active work in psychosis research.
