EPION Conference (Early Psychosis Intervention Ontario)
Yearly conference, this year’s theme is Partners in Practice and Progress (reflecting the importance of the broader EPI community in our experiences as service providers, researchers, and individuals and family members with lived experience.
The EPI-SET team submitted two proposals (one focusing on the implementation and the other on the evaluation - four objectives of the study).
Successful applicants are notified: June 28th 2019
The conference date is: November 19th- 20th 2019
There is a lived experience videos section – still working out the details on this though the EPI-SET team would like to do it.

WHODAS
The patients will be filling out the WHODAS with questions that cater to their experiences, if we use the WHODAS for the family members it will be easily to evaluate the data

Overall the members like the WHODAS as the language is good
Questions regarding the translation of the questions – French/Spanish?

Project Team Call
Waterloo-wellington is joining us again (after having to be put on hold for staffing reasons). We have oriented them to the project and we are working through getting research ethic approval and legal contracts. Each site has a PSSP (Implementation) support which they are connecting with Waterloo-Wellington now.
Sudbury is looking on coming aboard the project again. There is now potential funding for a full FTE (staff member). There are calls with their leads and Aristotle this week.
For the northern sites (Sudbury and North Bay) sorting through advantages (smaller sites, not want to overweight the measurement part) and disadvantages (they are different services altogether) of grouping them together or not
Other sites who were not originally part of the grant are interested in the project as well. Since they were not part of the grant, they would not be able to participate in the research site of it, though they would still be able to receive NAVIGATE. Looking into how to support this type of implementation.
