April 10, 2006New Schizophrenia Handbook For Advice and SupportRead more... Schizophrenia Coping
· Schizophrenia Education
An excellent new free handbook for people affected by schizophrenia and psychosis has been launched recently by Schizophrenia Ireland. "Discover the Road Ahead" is a comprehensive and user-friendly handbook that gives people with schizophrenia and their families information, advice and support. Its easy to read, and a good primer for people new to the issues associated with schizophrenia, or simply those who want a quick reminder of how to handle issues that come up frequently. (Note: Schizophrenia Ireland also has a very good booklet on suicide prevention as it relates to schizophrenia) The handbook - a cross European initiative - provides helpful information on detecting the early signs of schizophrenia, how to deal with diagnosis and outlines information on supports and the recovery process. All the people involved in producing the handbook have first-hand experience of coping with schizophrenia, including people with self-experience, relatives, friends and service providers. "Discover the Road Ahead" includes examples of Irish people's experiences and is being made available to people with self-experience of schizophrenia and their relatives free of charge. [Note: the booklet does include a few pages of what I believe is written in the Irish language - so if you can't read those pages, just skip them] You can download the booklet for free from the link below (its a large 617kb .pdf file so it may take a minute or two to download): Click Here to download the "Discover the Road Ahead" schizophrenia handbook The file requires Adobe Acrobat reader - if you do not already have it installed on your computer, its available here for free.
