Tennessee Statewide Early Psychosis Learning Series
A training series of six topics focusing on issues related to youth at Clinical High Risk (CHR) for psychosis.
The TN Department of Mental Health and Substance Abuse Services is excited to welcome you to our six-part virtual learning series focused on youth and young adults experiencing Critical High Risk for Psychosis (CHR-P). This series was intentionally designed for providers, educators, and community partners who serve youth at pivotal moments of vulnerability and opportunity. Early identification and intervention for psychosis can significantly alter a young person’s developmental, clinical, and life trajectory. Yet, early warning signs of psychosis are often misunderstood, overlooked, or misattributed, leading to delays in care and increased risk for symptom progression. This learning series aims to bridge that gap by advancing community knowledge, clinical skill, and confidence in recognizing and responding to early indicators of psychosis.
Across six sessions, participants will engage in evidence-informed learning on critical topics including the administration of the Mini Structured Interview for Psychosis (mini-SIPS), the intersection of early psychosis and substance use, autism within clinical high-risk presentations, and other emerging areas relevant to youth mental health. Each session is designed to be practical, accessible, and directly applicable to real-world clinical and community settings. This learning series promotes early detection, informed intervention, and prevention of prolonged untreated psychosis. By increasing awareness of early warning signs and strengthening provider capacity, we collectively move toward systems of care that intervene sooner, respond more effectively, and support better long-term outcomes for youth and families.
Continuing Education Units (CEUs) will be available for each session, supporting both professional development and clinical excellence.
