Learning Objectives

Participants will be able to:

  • Describe common themes in lived experience narratives of psychosis, including symptom emergence, treatment engagement, and recovery processes.

  • Examine the role of family, community, and care systems in shaping experiences of distress, support, and healing.

  • Integrate insights from lived experience into clinical and non-clinical practices that promote person-centered, recovery-oriented, and humanistic care for individuals experiencing psychosis.

Educational Goal

This session is designed to deepen participants’ understanding of psychosis through firsthand lived experience narratives. By exploring stories of symptom onset, treatment navigation, and moments of healing and hope, participants will gain insight into the human dimensions of psychosis and strengthen their ability to apply more compassionate, person-centered, and recovery-oriented approaches in their work.

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.
