Abstract Summary
This research will use an innovative knowledge translation strategy to bring research on first episode psychosis to students and educators in rural secondary schools in Ontario and PEI. The first phase of the research was CIHR funded and involved youth with psychosis working with an artist to create a mural. This mural documented their experiences of psychosis and the process of seeking help. The second phase, for which funding is sought, will involve construction of a multimedia installation of the mural (acrylic on canvas) and accompanying data (graffiti wall, photographs, artist statements) for display in schools. The objectives are to launch the mural in secondary schools to i) increase awareness, understanding and dialogue about psychosis and the help seeking process, and ii) document audience response to, and engagement with, the mural.
