We're excited to share that Josina James, LCSW, Director of Social Work for STEP LC, and Dr. Nick Pinkerton, PsyD, Associate Dean of Counseling Services and Wellbeing at Southern Connecticut State University, recently appeared on WTNH News Piece to discuss crucial topics surrounding students living with psychosis in schools.
Their conversation centered on how educators, counselors, and communities can better support students experiencing psychosis, emphasizing the importance of timely intervention and compassionate care.
Psychosis appears between the ages of 16 and 35. For young students, timely access to treatment and support is essential. Early intervention can significantly reduce suffering, prevent disability, and lower the risk of suicide.
