Early Psychosis To Meditate or Not?
Presented by
ISPS Australia
Wednesday 31st July
6pm to 8pm AWST

Tara Coppins will facilitate the session where Oryx will share his learnings and success, with coming off psychiatric medication and his work in offering an alternative approach to medication such as Emotional CPR. He will share why it is important for mental health practitioners and peer workers to resource themselves with multiple approaches for those looking for alternative or adjunctive approaches to medication.
Dr Amit Banerjee will ask Oryx the ‘tough’ questions around barriers and implications for mental health professionals embracing alternative approaches within the clinical paradigm.

We will then open the floor to questions from our audience.
