Lived Experience Videos & Teaching Tools
Experiences of Young Adults: Living with Mental Illness and Psychosis
Using federal American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) funding through the State of Maryland, the University of Maryland School of Medicine, Morgan State University, and the University of Maryland, Baltimore County collaborated to improve the quality and depth of clinical training related to psychosis. As part of this work, a series of lived experience videos and associated tools and guidelines were developed to improve awareness and understanding of psychosis in young adults.
View and download the Historical & Ethical Considerations for Early Identification of Psychosis slide deck.
Together, these materials are intended to support faculty and other trainers in teaching about the early identification and treatment of mental illness with psychosis for pre-service health and mental health students as well as professionals in the field. The videos include the lived experiences of young adults and families; we are indebted to them for their honesty, vulnerability, and willingness to share their reflections.
These videos are considered property of the three universities and should only be used for educational purposes. They should not be downloaded or shared outside of the classroom or the clinic setting. The videos are intended to be used as part of courses and training that integrate the best practices and the foundational information that is provided in the associated materials.
