Understanding Early Psychosis: Families Supporting Recovery is a collaboration of family members supporting youth at CAMH’s Slaight Centre for Youth in Transition and the RBC Patient and Family Learning Space. It consists of seven short videos and was developed through a family-led collaborative process.
The videos highlights the lived experiences of caregivers, offering practical guidance for other families trying to navigate the mental health system. Through storytelling, the series explores themes of recognizing early signs and symptoms, diagnosis, service navigation, communication, and hope. Integrated into each video are links to relevant resources and services, empowering viewers with accessible information to help navigate Ontario’s complex mental health landscape.
