The group is experiential and assists people in dealing with the difficult thoughts, emotions, and occurrences that are a natural part of everyday life. Rather than trying to avoid pain and discomfort it helps people to identify and live from their values while learning the skills to cope.

We received $64,500 to extend in-home family support and engagement to help young people make sense of their distress and refer them to early intervention services. This will be done by adding an Early Intervention Engagement Specialist to work as first point of contact with youth. This youth engagement specialist will conduct in-home meetings and build relationships that encourage youth to seek help.

They produced plan that we are excited about implementing! If you’re curious where we’re headed strategically speaking, you can download the document.

ISL is supported by the Family Outreach Program as well as other national and international organizations, groups and individuals. On July 10, 2012 an event is being planned here in Toronto to launch the work of the inquiry into the schizophrenia label. Dr. Suman Fernando will be the keynote speaker.
