Educational Goal
Description
In this session, individuals with lived experience of psychosis, as well as those who have walked alongside them, will share personal stories that illuminate the human dimensions of this complex experience. Drawing inspiration from The Moth storytelling format, each speaker will have ten minutes to tell their story, offering a clear beginning, middle, and end without the use of slides. Together, these narratives will explore the onset of symptoms, the process of navigating treatment systems, and the pivotal moments that sparked healing, connection, and renewed hope. Anchored by emcee Stacey Henson, ACSW, LCSW, this session invites participants to listen deeply to stories of struggle, meaning-making, and resilience, reminding us that lived experience is an essential voice in shaping compassionate, humanistic approaches to psychosis care.
