Social inclusion and recovery for young people with first episode psychosis: a London survey of early intervention in psychosis teams and their links with the further education system

Abstract

This article is an account of an ambitious change management effort across the inter‐organisational divide of health and education. It focused on improving the relationships between staff in health and education sectors, to enable people to work together with a sense of shared purpose and joint vision: to get young people with early psychosis back into education and training, and to keep them there. It involved working on people's mindsets, and discarding long‐held negative expectations of what mental health service users can achieve. The project is based in London.
