Choices in Recovery: What’s in it for you?

Today there are more treatment options – and more opportunities – available for individuals with schizophrenia than there ever have been before. But one thing hasn’t changed: It’s still true that the single most important thing that individuals with schizophrenia can do to stay well and live their lives to the fullest is to follow their treatment plan. When you focus your treatment plan on achieving treatment goals and recovery, you can successfully manage schizophrenia by making healthy lifestyle choices, working with a treatment team, reducing stress, using advocacy and support groups, and taking your medication. Join us for an informative and interactive discussion on these and other ways to achieve your treatment goals and reach recovery.

There is always hope for recovery!

The purpose of this educational program is to help you understand schizophrenia, its treatment, and how its treatment can lead to achieving therapeutic goals and recovery. Although there is no cure for schizophrenia, the process of recovery is possible.

The program will also assist those with schizophrenia feel comfortable in sharing important information with their treatment team. So if you know anyone who has been diagnosed with schizophrenia invite them to this meeting.
