#EPION2019: Partners in Practice and Progress

Join EPION for our bi-annual two-day conference.

November 19+20, Toronto

The EPION conference will highlight and explore innovative and promising practices in early psychosis intervention. We will also recognize and honour the clinical, research and peer initiatives of our EPI programs as well as the ongoing work of EPION itself.

This bi-annual conference provides an opportunity for those involved in Early Psychosis Intervention (EPI) in Ontario to:

Share, learn and network together as clinicians, researchers, peer support workers, program managers, program evaluators, persons with lived experience and family members.
Understand the latest data and evidence on EPI and what it means for clinical practice
Find out about the innovations and learnings from programs that have implemented new practices
Hear about the various initiatives undertaken by EPION through the EPION standing Working Groups and time-limited task groups.
