Our Aims

The West Midlands Partnership, Rethink and IRIS have a shared belief in the importance of effective early intervention for young people with Psychosis and will collaborate in the development and promotion of services specifically focused on the needs of young people with Psychosis and their families.

Rethink and the West Midlands Partnership wish to support and work with IRIS to:

  • promote early intervention in psychosis

  • encourage the development of services which are non- stigmatising and appropriate to the needs of young people in the early stage of illness

  • try to reduce the impact of psychosis on young people

  • encourage and develop better mental health promotion schemes to highlight the benefits of early intervention to key audiences
