Planning for Early Intervention in Psychosis across Massachusetts: Progress & Updates
November 9, 2021, 8:50am-5pm EST
About the Meeting
Last year on November 5th, 2020, the Massachusetts Department of Mental Health (DMH) and the Laboratory for Early Psychosis (LEAP) Center hosted a conference to develop priorities for the Massachusetts Strategic Plan for Early Psychosis. One year later, this conference will take stock of the progress we have made so far and reassess our priorities moving forwards. As we return to providing in-person services, many of us facing a surge in community mental health needs and grappling with ongoing changes in the ways we provide care, we will reflect on our collective progress and challenges to inform the future of psychosis care in MA.

How will the virtual conference work?
All panels and talks for this conference will be moderated over Zoom. A link will be emailed to registered attendees prior to November 9th. Our goal is to make this meeting as interactive as possible through features such as polls and breakout group discussions. We want to collaborate with you to build and refine our state-wide strategic plan, and create opportunities for our local early psychosis community to connect and learn from each other. Recordings of all talks will be made available following the meeting date.
