The Trust’s Psychosis Research Unit (PRU) developed a training package to enhance the skills of Early Intervention in Psychosis (EIP) professionals across the North region to develop their expertise in detecting, assessing and engaging with people experiencing psychosis. Once staff complete the training, and have reached the required level, they are encouraged to facilitate sessions to train other mental health professionals.

They have also developed a new resource to help young people experiencing psychosis for the first time look after their physical health and maintain a healthy routine.

The Trust’s Early Intervention in Psychosis teams and the PRU work with local partners, like local non-profit organisation Ziggy’s Wish and The University of Manchester, to carry out mental health research projects and provide service users with access to innovative clinical research trails.
