Recognise the symptoms and causes of Psychosis, and learn how to support those experiencing it.
Psychosis awareness matters. Early intervention, often within the first episode, significantly improves long-term recovery chances and reduces brain gray matter loss.

We will cover:
- What Psychosis is
- Phases of Psychosis
- Symptoms of Psychosis
- Causes of Psychosis

About the trainer
Alix is a qualified mental health nurse with 14 years of experience in a variety of services, including forensic inpatient and police custody. She has been based within the Somerset Team for Early Intervention in Psychosis (STEP) team for the past nine years, and is passionate about early intervention services and having the opportunity to support people experiencing psychosis for the first time.
Tickets are freely available to volunteers and staff from voluntary, community, faith and social enterprise (VCFSE) organisations operating within Somerset, and will be of particular interest to those who support the mental wellbeing of others. Due to the number of places available for this training, we ask that organisations limit their bookings to two per organisation.
