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

Different people holding hands in a circle

Trauma, poverty, discrimination, and inequity all affect mental health—yet most psychosis treatment ignores these realities. The ISPS movement challenges the status quo, advocating for mental health care that addresses social determinants, prioritizes community and relationships, and offers choices, not forced interventions. We believe in a future where people diagnosed with psychosis are provided structural and social supports that promote full community participation and flourishing.

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.
