Where
Free film screening & panel discussion
Join the University of Arizona College of Medicine - Tucson Department of Psychiatry, Banner Health's Early Psychosis Intervention Center, and Coyote Task Force for an afternoon of community-focused education. Learn about real people living with psychosis spectrum disorders, the crucial importance of early intervention, and hear personal stories of struggle, healing and hope.
Understanding
Popular culture has stigmatized people living with psychosis spectrum disorders as being unintelligent, unmotivated and even violent. These false and harmful views stem from a lack of understanding what a person is going through when they are having symptoms such as disordered thoughts, hallucinations and delusions.
Humanizing
Watch special selections of PBS documentaries, “Hiding in Plain Sight,” on psychosis by renowned filmmaker Ken Burns. Stay for a panel discussion moderated by Gustavo Perez, PhD, EPICenter's director and lead psychologist, with two community members living with psychosis, a family member, and an EPICenter psychologist who will share their experiences during an audience Q&A.
