Join a Committee
ISPS-US’s Committees are formed of volunteers working together to accomplish our mission.
Education Committee (Members Only)
The Education Committee sponsors webinars on various educational topics related to psychosis and extreme states, fosters the formation of study groups, encourages inclusion of training in psychological treatments of people with psychosis in existing training programs for mental health professionals, and serves as a resource and clearinghouse of relevant information and speakers on the psychological treatments of people with psychosis for study groups and training programs.
Advocacy Committee (Members Only)
The Advocacy Committee aligns with ISPS-US’s mission of challenging the biological-reductionistic status quo of mental health care as usual. ISPS-US aims to effect systemic change, within arenas such as the mental health system, education system, media, and systems influencing public policy. Our Advocacy Committee works in partnership with our Executive Committee to advance ISPS-US’s advocacy efforts and engage our passionate membership in collective action.
Program/Conference Committee
The Program Committee changes with every annual meeting. With the help of the Executive Director, it plans the annual meeting theme, location and schedule, chooses a keynoter and honoree, writes a Call for Papers, reads and chooses presentations, develops the program, markets the meeting and assists with other logistics of the meeting. Members of the committee do not need to reside where the meeting is held, but at least some of them should.
