Schizophrenia: A Journey to Recovery
New Resource Offers Plain-Language Information on Assessment and Treatment
The Schizophrenia Society of Canada (SSC) is pleased to announce a new resource that provides consumers and family members with plain-language information on the clinical treatment of schizophrenia.
Schizophrenia: A Journey to Recovery -- A Consumer and Family Guide to Assessment and Treatment was produced through a partnership between the SSC and the Canadian Psychiatric Association (CPA). The project adapted the CPA's Clinical Guidelines for the Treatment of Schizophrenia into a user-friendly format to assist consumers and families as they navigate their way through assessment and treatment of the illness.
