The Partnership Program  is a public awareness program aimed at reducing the stigma and misconceptions attached to the biological illness of the brain called schizophrenia and to those directly affected

      The client describes living and coping with the disease, and the family member describes the impact on the family unit when a loved one becomes stricken with the disease. The mental health professional provides a clinical overview of schizophrenia and covers the more technical areas of assessment, treatment and rehabilitation needs of those affected.

New Family Education Series:

"Strengthening Families Together"

Strengthing Families Together is a ten week series which provides information about mental illnesses for families who have a member living with schizophrenia, bi-polar illness, major depression, or obsessive compulsive disorder.
It is a series of ten weekly sessions, the first all-Canadian program of its kind in Canada. With generous funding from Astra Zenica Canada, the Schizophrenia Society of Canada developed, produced and piloted the program, and it is now ready to be delivered to families who are coping with a serious mental illness.
