Schizophrenia & Psychosis Action Alliance (S&PAA) Presents: Join us on May 14 and 15 in Washington, D.C., for our 2nd annual SPRING Summit, where we’ll work together to plan and activate core components of our Roadmap to Recovery.
Our 2024 SPRING Summit identified five key roadblocks to recovery:
Difficulty recognizing the early signs of schizophrenia.
The fragmented healthcare system.
The negative impact of anosognosia.
The acute shortage of affordable housing.
Emotional and social isolation.
At our 2025 SPRING Summit, we’ll focus on the emotional and social isolation that causes traumatic stress, additional medical issues and lost productivity for people with schizophrenia and their care partners. This trauma affects everyone in the schizophrenia ecosystem – from diagnosed people’s ability to advocate for themselves, to the caregiver burden, to clinicians who may experience “compassion fatigue” that hinders treatment.
