I typically start my public talks with the statement, “All people facing psychosis deserve the chance to thrive—why isn’t that the common outcome?!” As I observed at Students With Psychosis‘s 2024 conference, that outcome may soon become much more common! The members of this wonderful organization prove that with courage and perseverance, meaningful lives and careers can be within reach not just despite but even because of one’s mental health condition. I intend in my role at One Mind to accelerate this process at scale! I am grateful to have received SWP’s 2024 Innovation Award and to have learned so much this weekend. Thanks to Cecilia McGough , Emeka Chima and Rei Scott for hosting this inspiring event. My top four takeaways: 1. Notwithstanding popular prejudices, people with psychosis are highly worthy human beings who deserve opportunities to grow as members of their communities and society. 2. For people with psychosis to advance their careers, advocacy and education initiatives must drive universities and employers to improve their cultures and compliance with ADA policy. 3. Educational initiatives by forward-thinking universities (such as Stanford University School of Medicine and Harvard Medical School‘s anti-stigma courses) and industry which partner with people with lived experience (PWLE) show promise to begin to drive societal improvements. 4. Among the best educational practices to dissolve social stigma are meaningful personal interactions with PWLE and their stories, role-playing exercises teaching the effects of stigma on individuals, and immersive projects to design anti-stigma interventions.
