Partnership Program
is a free educational presentation provided to the community (agencies,
schools, service clubs, nursing students) that brings “The Face
of Schizophrenia” to audiences through the eyes of experts - the
professional, the person with schizophrenia, and family members
in order to educate and help reduce the stigma that people with
the illness face every day.
Walk the World
for Schizophrenia is a yearly public awareness and fundraising
event.
Resource Library
provides books and videos for loan to those who wish to further
their understanding of schizophrenia and other related mental
illness. Various information sheets and pamphlets are also mailed
out upon request.
Information Booths
are set up at malls, conventions, schools, etc. on a yearly basis.
This helps to raise our profile within the community, as well
as providing information to the public at large about schizophrenia.
Referrals are made
to our office, and we in turn receive appropriate referrals within
the health care community. This helps consumers and families,
as well as helping to strengthen our partnerships with other organizations
within the community.
