- the general public
Key Findings in Early Psychosis Knowledge Sharing Initiative
The NSEPP has launched a knowledge sharing initiative intended to provide up-to-date information to everyone interested in early detection and optimal treatment of psychosis. The initiative is being conducted in collaboration with the Nova Scotia Early Psychosis Network, with funding from the Nova Scotia Health Research Foundation.
A number of multi-stakeholder meetings have been held throughout Nova Scotia over the past two years, focusing on key findings in the field of Early Psychosis. Videos and written material from those meetings are available here.
