Using psychoeducation to provide young people (and their families) with information on their mental illness helps them feel more engaged, reduces stigma, and empowers them in a situation where they are likely to feel helpless.

The webinar will also focus on how to tailor the psychoeducation for a young person’s specific needs and presenting issues.
