We Believe:

There's more to psychosis care than meds-and-beds.

For most mental health conditions, experiences are understood within the context of one’s life, and a range of approaches are offered to support recovery. However, psychosis is treated differently.

No one is just a diagnosis. Mental health is about people, not just labels.

We believe in the right of the person to identify, define, and understand their own experiences.

Healing isn't just personal. It's social, it's collective, it's possible.

Trauma, poverty, discrimination, and inequity all affect mental health—yet most psychosis treatment ignores these realities.

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.
