Pat Wright * ISPS-US Member

I went to my first conference needing to find other family members who were also struggling with the diagnosis, hospitalization, and medication routine. I appreciate the "trialogue" unique to ISPS where the voices of family members, folks with lived experience and clinicians are expressed in an open and supportive environment. I continue to be inspired by those within ISPS-US, learning ideas, strategies and hearing hopeful people discuss topics that affect my family and me every day.

Our Impact In 2024

In 2024, ISPS-US built on our momentum to achieve even greater impact. We hosted 24 educational events—more than double the 11 offered in 2023—including interactive CE-accredited courses. Our educational programs reached an impressive 80,233 people through live attendance or watching our recorded content. Additionally, our membership grew by 21%, reflecting a stronger, more engaged community dedicated to promoting psychological and social approaches to psychosis.
