A series of virtual town hall events hosted by the Early Psychosis Division have been praised as a success!
Held this year on from April through September on Zoom, the eight town halls shared self-care resources for the teams, compiled community resources for distribution, as well as developed COVID-19 safety protocols for all sites. The department also presented an overview of the final quarter of the fiscal year in numbers.
