Perspectives
The Perspectives educational series of free presentations throughout the year focuses on improving the understanding, awareness, and support of people experiencing first episode psychosis. A range of speakers present on topics related to the experience of psychosis and how providers, family or friends, and community members can best offer effective and meaningful care and support.
Perspectives is made possible through the Insight program at Porter-Starke Services. This program serves people experiencing their first episode of psychosis through funding support from the State of Indiana Division of Mental Health and Addiction.
