Organised by
RANZCP Section of Youth Mental HealthThere is strong evidence to support the best practice for providing psychological and pharmacological care to young people with early psychosis and first episode schizophrenia. Unfortunately, there is a significant implementation gap where by much of the clinical care delivered to people with early psychosis does not align with current evidence. This webinar provides an overview of state of the art evidence based clinical care for young people with early psychosis.
