Testimonials:
“I wish this training could be provided to every intern starting their first rotation at a community mental health clinic and every clinical staff at those locations as well. The normalization of the potential for psychosis was something I will take with me and benefit from with the work with my patients.”
“This was outstanding. I thought it was an excellent mix of role play, but [I] also learned such a huge amount from the demonstrations by Dr. Maura and Dr. Kopelovich, including listening to the various audio recordings. It gave me an appreciation for how incredibly complex CBT and CBT for psychosis is and was extremely motivating in terms of giving me a sense of the resources that exist that I can leverage in the next few years of training. So outstanding. Thank you.”
“[This training] provided information that I was not aware of, enhanced some of what I know, [and] provided information that I can pass on to [other] clinicians working with clients with mental illness. This provided me with a new way of thinking and feeling about people that hear voices. I can be doing more.”
“This was excellent, well-organized, and [a] comprehensive overview of the topic, presented with clarity and passion. This is very valuable training information.”
