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 2023

In 2023, leveraging our enhanced infrastructure, ISPS-US expanded our programming with short courses, diversified and increased our funding that allowed us to increase scholarships, and launched several successful advocacy campaigns. Our educational programming attendance surged by 92% compared to 2022, marking significant advancement toward our mission of promoting psychological and social approaches to psychosis.
