Seagull PEER SUPPORT FOR PARENTS OF PSYCHOSIS SUFFERERS

Based in British Columbia, Canada, PSPOPS is committed to providing support in the form of information and encouragement to parents who have discovered that their child is suffering from early psychosis.

We are parents who have been, or still are, in the same position of dealing with this terrible illness. As such our focus is on helping other parents, using knowledge and eperiences gained from our own particular circumstances, and from our own perspective.

Through our support group discussions, we have learned that there are many common aspects to cases of "psychosis", however each case is individual and there is no single answer to address all situations.

While our focus is on supporting parents, other family members who are involved with the care and recovery process are not excluded from our hearts. In fact every person involved in any aspect of psychosis is welcome to review and learn from our experiences.

Because of the personal nature of psychosis and respecting privacy issues, stories, experiences, lessons learned etc., which are included on this web site do not include real names. ALL content is however validated prior to being added.

It is important to note that this site can provide suggestions, and limited guidance based upon our experiences. We are NOT medical professionals, and do not provide medical advice. We will support you in any way we can, but we do not have the resources or medical training to become personally involved beyond the limits of this site. Any site content beyond personal experience issues will be qualified by competent authorities. We will try to answer questions through our FAQ's section.

What we don't do is offer a diagnosis or medical advice, we leave that up to the experts.
What we do offer is expert guidance from real people intimately involved with this illness.


If you feel like we do, that you can benefit from this type of support email your comments, questions or input to pspops@psychosissupport.com Please be aware that individual responses will not be possible but your input and questions may be included on the web site (no names).
