Who can join ISPS?
You might have lived experience of psychosis, or be a carer or family member. You might also be a nurse, psychiatrist, psychologist, social worker, psychotherapist, arts therapist, occupational therapist, or a researcher.
ISPS aims to be a home for anyone interested in opening up dialogue and building community around social and psychological approaches to psychosis.
What are the benefits of membership?
What members have told us they value is connection: connecting with others who are working in this way, or with people who have had similar experiences. As a member, you will have the opportunity to meet others, virtually or in person, and help us shape this work. There is an open invitation to members to organise local events, or set up groups or reflective spaces. We will do our best to support these initiatives.
As a Member of ISPS UK, you will feel connected to a community and movement both in the UK and internationally.
You have free access to all ISPS UK online events, our quarterly reflective practice sessions and reduced-price tickets for in-person events and conferences.
You will be connected to the latest research and thinking in this area, through a quarterly online copy of the academic journal Psychosis.
All ISPS UK members automatically become members of the International ISPS Network and will be entitled to a range of benefits such as discounts for the annual ISPS Conference.
