The EPC Youth Advisory Council is a group of youth and young adults aged 15-35 with personal lived experience with psychosis. We are working to reduce stigma about psychosis by sharing resources, raising awareness, and providing fact-based education in order to improve young people’s access to care. We do so through monthly meetings, attending events, and creating actionable, accessible resources about psychosis. We meet on the second Monday of each month from 6-7PM CST, and sessions include brief icebreakers, youth-targeted mental health resources, and collaborative development of new projects.

Assessment 101 Part A is a free 1-hour training. This training will focus first episode psychosis intake questions. Attendees will learn how to feel comfortable asking questions about psychosis and speaking to individuals who are reporting signs and symptoms of first episode psychosis.

Assessment 101 Part B is a free one-hour training. Building upon Assessment 101 Part A, attendees will learn about differentiating between clinical high-risk and psychosis symptoms. Individuals will be oriented to the use of screening, self-reporting, and structured and semi-structured clinical interviews to assist in diagnosis, treatment planning, and ongoing assessment of psychosis symptoms.

Designed for professionals and practitioners treating early psychosis, those with lived experience, family members, researchers, and students. Missouri’s EPC conference aims to bring to the forefront the importance of early identification and intervention as critical steps in reducing the impact of psychosis on affected individuals, their families, caregivers, social supports, and the community.

Drawing from current research and evidence-based practices, conference themes include, but are not limited to, the voice of lived experience and peer specialists, culture, trauma, and assessment, identification, and treatment.

The EPC Center’s 4th annual conference offers a forum in which to learn about best practices, current trends in research, network with peers, and implement new strategies, research, and trends into practice.
