First Episode Psychosis Conference 2024-Pausing with Purpose: Guiding FEP Care with Human Connection

South Southwest MHTTC Presents: The mission of the South Southwest MHTTC First Episode Psychosis (FEP) Conference 2024 is to bring together stakeholders with a commitment to improving and growing FEP services in the HHS Region 6 South Southwest area of the United States.

Our 2024 theme, Pausing with Purpose: Guiding FEP Care with Human Connection, focuses on the crucial role of human connection in effective FEP care. The theme underscores the importance of fostering genuine relationships among those involved in FEP care, including team members, young people in services, family and other supporters, as well as connecting with ourselves.

The theme also acknowledges the importance of intentionally pausing. There are challenges to building genuine connections in fast-paced and often oppressive systems and this conference highlights the power of the deliberate slowing of processes and interactions to deepen our connections.

We place particular emphasis in understanding oppression and advancement related to diversity in perspective, including incorporating lived experiences, marginalized or minoritized groups, and special attention to race, ethnicity, class, urbanicity, and language.

We invite those committed to transforming FEP care, including providers, researchers, and those with lived experience, to join us for the South Southwest MHTTC FEP conference. Let’s pause and reflect on how being in a relationship can drive FEP care.
