Improving the lives of people with schizophrenia
With the right treatments and support, people with schizophrenia can and do recover. The Coordinating Centers of Excellence Stories of Recovery and Hope video shares how the programs and practices of the BeST Center, the Criminal Justice Coordinating Center of Excellence and the Ohio Program for Campus Safety & Mental Health are promoting recovery and instilling hope.
Unfortunately, many people affected by schizophrenia do not have access to the most effective treatments. The BeST Center’s mission is to change this by providing customized training and other resources to individuals and organizations that help people live successfully with schizophrenia:
BeST Center Practices
- FIRST Coordinated Specialty Care for First Episode Psychosis
