Beating the Clock: Reducing the Duration of Untreated Psychosis
Tuesday, June 26, 2018 | 2–3:30 p.m. Eastern Time
Join SAMHSA for a Technical Assistance Coalition webinar with the National Alliance on Mental Illness for a discussion on the duration of untreated psychosis (the time between the onset of psychosis and accessing appropriate treatment). The shorter the period of untreated psychosis, the better the outcomes for people; therefore, the webinar presenters will discuss strategies for engaging people in evidence-based, first-episode psychosis programs; building awareness through targeted outreach; collaborating with systems partners; and encouraging help-seeking. The presenters will discuss insights on how these strategies work together to make a positive impact on a person’s trajectory of wellness.

Join SAMHSA for a Technical Assistance Coalition webinar with the National Council for Behavioral Health for a discussion on the importance of patient-centered care for individuals with serious mental illness who are involved with the criminal justice system. The webinar presenter will highlight the factors contributing to the current status of patient-centered care in the criminal justice system, gaps in the systems, how to improve access to care in the community, and the role of diversion programs such as Mental Health Courts and Drug Courts in decreasing criminalization of serious mental illness and substance use disorders.
