Gain a Deeper Understanding of Schizophrenia
Empowering Healthcare Providers, Therapists, and Case Managers
This online training is intended for providers, therapists, and case managers who work with patients diagnosed with schizophrenia. It's aim is to enhance understanding of schizophrenia and equip you with strategies to manage symptoms while offering support to both patients and your colleagues.
Why It Matters?
Schizophrenia is a serious condition that can have negative impacts on all areas of a person's life. This disorder affects 1 in 345 people worldwide. It is vital that professionals involved in the care of these patients/clients have an understanding of not only the disorder itself, but also the impact of each role involved in the treatment.
