Abstract
This session examines how a training that reframes how “psychosis” is viewed, can accelerate a local paradigm shift in therapeutic work. An innovative curriculum and grant in Oakland, California were used to both research the locale and train individuals with lived experience to help augment the spread of the Hearing Voices National (HVN) locally.
