A panel of FEP researchers and policy makers from Australia, Canada, Denmark, and the UK will comment on recent U.S. progress, and share “lessons learned” from those countries’ efforts to implement early intervention services on a national level.
Featured Speakers Include: - Robert Heinssen, National Institutes of Mental Health

- Lisa Dixon, Columbia University Medical Center & Center for Practice Innovations
