Event Overview
This year’s Schizophrenia Conference will bring together clinicians, researchers, caregivers, and the community in open dialogue to examine the current approaches used to optimize care in Schizophrenia. Dr. Jari Tiihonen, renowned Psychiatrist and Professor from the Karolinska Institutet in Stockholm, Sweden, will begin the day with an analysis of the real world effectiveness of antipsychotic treatments in Schizophrenia culled from his expertise in pharmacoepidemiological methods using national databases. Scientists from The Royal’s Institute of Mental Health Research will then lead a researcher round table, highlighting the challenges and opportunities in Schizophrenia Care.
The afternoon will offer participants an opportunity to gain practical Motivational Interviewing skills, identify common barriers faced by families trying to navigate the health care system, and analyze the impact of service structures and mental health law on families and patients. The event will close with a review of the assessment, diagnosis, and treatment standards of psychosis in a clinical setting, highlighting the appropriate stage-specific interventions, and suggesting developments for the future service continuum of persons living with Schizophrenia.
